AMY GRECO

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Amy Greco is a fiber artist who creates abstract structural tapestries and wall hangings. In the artists own words “The act of knitting has always been experienced by me as an embodied tether to my ancestry. My current work developed over the past decade, coinciding with the emergence of my own family. It is an exploration of the possibilities of fractal structures that are simultaneously predictable, dependable, and constantly shifting and changing, growing more textural through ruptures and mishaps, and whose shapes strive for wholeness and integrity. These structures mimic nature’s vital expansion simultaneously on a cellular, embryonic level and on the scale of the universe itself. They straddle the tension between fragility and strength, attesting to the power of the communal.”
