Megan Adgate is a textile artist who works with natural fibers to create dimensional tapestries. Her process sets out to challenge the very foundation of weaving itself — the grid. Contrary to the traditional up-and-down approach, her frame looms are warped in an unsystematized, scrambled way, creating a canvas that allows for overlapping layers, curvature, and negative space. While this technique utilizes both control and manipulation with the aim of exploring what lives below the surface, Megan also use materials — such as wool, cotton, kudzu, and nettle — to create organic shapes and layers out of the underlying chaotic structure, which result in a piece that appears to still be growing.
