Kellen Meyer (b. 1973, Laguna Beach) is an artist, who lives and works in Santa Barbara, California, exploring the intersection between art and ecology.
Her large-scale fiber installations weave together organic and inorganic materials – including wool, undyed canvas, paper, gems, shells, clay, and driftwood – found in the wild outdoors or sourced from local artisans and fiber sheds. These installations delve into the intricate connection between humanity and other diverse entities, embodying the notion of Natureculture as a sphere of coexistence, where her works eventually could compost back into the Earth.
Crafted in her studio overlooking a bird sanctuary, Kellen’s hand-woven works draw from the practice of knitting, crochet, and various weaving techniques to foster stories of interspecies co-evolution, biophilia, and connectivity.
