Artist: Kit Eastman

Kit Eastman, a St. Paul, Minnesota based textile artist is currently creating hand-painted objects in the Japanese tradition of katazome, or stencil-dyeing, using natural dyes on linen, cotton and silk. The following pieces are available in our showroom and are absolutely beautiful in person! In this collection, Kit has employed multiple dyeing and printing techniques on fabric, as well as simple piecing and stitching to convey her thoughts about the urban landscape near her St. Paul home.

“It is my great hope, and my ambition, to paint work that calls to something beyond itself, something larger, deeper, a thing I sense in the stillness that happens when I am unguarded in front of a painting with a brush and pigment in hand and nowhere to hide.”
-K. Daphnae Koop
