ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Memphis-based fiber artist Paula Kovarik creates layered quilted and sculptural works by cutting up her own quilts and repurposing them as raw material. Her practice channels memory, politics and the news cycle into stitch and line, favouring process over finished product. In this conversation, she reflects on her evolving 3D work, a recent Japan residency, and the day she took a chainsaw to a piece in protest.
