KIVA MOTNYK
Kiva Motnyk is an artist and designer, based in New York, creating work with a focus on experimental textiles. She explores connections between art, industry and nature, through a process of discovery, conception and making. Kiva founded Thompson Street Studio in NYC, a space to create work that conceptualizes art and design as one discipline focused on creating the everyday object. Collaboration and process is an important part of her development, inspired by ideas of tradition. Her sensibility is rooted in a love of natural color, texture and pattern expressed in a modern application of traditional techniques: silk screening, weaving, knitting, quilting, and multiple natural dye methods.
Motnyk’s work has been included in recent exhibitions at R & Company, as part of Objects USA: 2020 and Object & Thing, At The Luss House.
