Hello fellow fiber enthusiasts, my name is Liz Oliver and will be taking over the FAN account this weekend to guide you through my practice and journey as an artist!

I am a California based textile artist. My work explores themes of memory, light and shadow, color, texture, fantasy, movement and the universal patterns found within nature.

I utilize the traditional Japanese artform of Shibori, while pushing the boundaries of what is possible within this medium. In this process, flat cloth is manipulated, forming a 3D shape. When this wet shape is left to dry whilst under tension, the pleats are preserved. What sets my work apart from most traditional pleating is that there is no template, meaning nothing can be replicated. These works are also pleated on the bias, allowing for more opportunity for creating sculptural forms.
