About Christine Tedesco:

"I am a woman who was brought up in the south learning the domestic arts of cooking and sewing. I grew to love the creativity in doing these things. Later, the study of architecture furthered my visual awareness for things in the built environment. The act of making or creating anything, whether it is a simple tile pattern, drafting a complex technical drawing, or making a quilt or garment has always been an artistic endeavor for me.  

I had the opportunity to live in Italy for an extended period of time. I began to notice the beautiful tile work that was everywhere throughout the country. I documented these tiles whenever I encountered them, attempting to create a visual library for myself. This study of tile design has given me a rich vocabulary for my work in textiles. Using vibrant, iridescent silks, I create compositions inspired by the patterns in Italy.  This study in combination with my design education has resulted in my interest in non-traditional textile work."

Christine is one of the twelve artists selected for our upcoming exhibition, In the Making: Contemporary Craft from South Carolina, opening this October.
