Biography
"I began exploring the labor-intensive and meditative process of darning in the interest of mending my partners' tattered and well loved jeans. Since then I've continued mended clothing for others. My hands move through the fabric, weaving thread over and under to rebuild. The wonderful textures created through mending are what influenced me to create giant magnified versions."

"Increasing the scale of the thread to that of large, stuffed knitted tubes, created a new way to explore shape with linear forms. Weaving these elements under and over allows the space inbetween to amplify the round plushness and texture of the work. Evoking a desire to touch and play, the familiarity of these textile forms brings a collective sense of intimacy, warmth, and joyfulness."

 

Katrina Sánchez Standfield is an interdisciplinary Panamanian-American artist. Through fibers and mixed materials she makes vibrant and tactile objects and installations that examine the social and environmental networks in which we function. Kat pairs traditional processes like weaving and knitting, experimenting with texture, color, and scale to explore contemporary issues. The intersection in which we relate to ourselves, each other, and our environments is at the center of what inspires her work. She explores ideas of community, healing, and renewal through physical actions and methods like mending, street art, and interactive installations. Influenced by both the history of fibers and its intrinsic connection to humanity Kat likes creating work that invites the public to interact with it. A desire to elicit a multi-sensory experience while engaging the audience's desire to investigate and play is at the heart of her practice.
