Kaitlin Bryson

I found Kaitlin’s work in my preferred manner: through serendipity. I was looking for something else (or thought I was!), and found her website instead. Here’s what she has to say in her maker remarks, “Kaitlin Bryson is an ecological artist concerned with environmental and social justice. Her art practice and activism are focused on biological and metaphysical applications of healing, responding to the pervasive persistence of harm in the world. Bryson primarily works with fungi as collaborators, materials and metaphors for her artworks.

Bryson received an MFA in Art & Ecology from the University of New Mexico and currently lives and works nomadically throughout the western United States. Bryson has received support from the Lannan and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation(s) to create ecologically, remediative artworks nationally and internationally.”

Pictured left is an image from A holy being who is not singular, about which she writes, “[the work] articulates pathways of interspecies connections through mycelium, thread, fabric and human form.”

  • materially low impact and does not create harmful waste or participate in a global, capital economy

  • cultivate collective care
