Statement

Recent work has focused on a type of collage, weavings comprised of my watercolor paintings cut into strips and woven together in traditional and untraditional structures. I am currently exploring songbirds as subject matter, not just their beautiful colors and songs, but their inter-woven-ness in their habitats. Woven structures are an apt metaphor for what we know about the functioning of earth’s ecosystems, and the mutual disruption of image and pattern in these woven collages evokes this disruption of natural patterns. When I walk in the New Mexico landscape I feel both joy and angst. As always, I am thrilled by the beauty of our land and its creatures. I am also deeply worried and grieving the threats our environment faces here and everywhere. How can I convey both joy and grief at the same time?

Bio

Molly Elkind’s recent work explores weaving with paper and mixed media that include painted and found images, threads and natural elements including dried plants. Since 2018, Molly has been inspired by New Mexico’s high desert landscape, which is rugged, fragile, beautiful--and vulnerable to exacerbated wildfires, droughts and other threats from climate change. Molly earned an M.A. in Studio Art from the Allen R. Hite Art Institute at the University of Louisville in 2002. Exhibition highlights over 30 years include two solo exhibits in Atlanta and numerous juried and invitational shows nationwide. Molly has been published in fiber art publications, and her work is in several private collections. Her blog Molly Elkind: Talking Textiles has been published for 10 years. Besides making art, Molly is passionate about teaching it, with a particular focus on design principles, processes, and methods of critique. She is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico and teaches both online and in person for fiber guilds and conferences. When not in her studio Molly can be found out hiking the trails near her home.
