About me

Cathy Speed is a craftivist and designer from Melbourne, Australia. Her work primarily involves themes relating to feminism and women’s rights, with a focus upon text-based works. The use of text stems from her training as a graphic designer, bringing the medium off the screen to give it a tactile power.

She has exhibited in group shows in Melbourne and participated in various human rights art displays, always in the medium of thread and fabric.

About me

Camila Ussa / Veneno was born in Colombia and is currently working from Brooklyn, New York. She is a multidisciplinary street artist who is fascinated by handicrafts and how  DIY is changing the world we live in. Veneno started as 100% handmade embroidered designs, as patches and clothes, but rapidly started to change as the artist decided to work with different materials and mixed media (stencil, collage, painting, stickers, zines, video…). The work is usually dropped around the streets of Brooklyn or Manhattan and shared via social media.

About me

Maryanne Wollner is a curious, big-hearted, animal-loving Queer Person of Colour who has a huge love of fibre arts and textiles. She has never found a medium that has held her attention as much as embroidery. She graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2012, enjoying photography, printmaking, sculpture, book-making, and creative writing. During the last term of school she began to develop an interest in needle-felting and wet-felting, later moving on to sewing and embroidery.

About me

I am currently a sophomore at Arizona State University studying environmental design. I’ve lived in Arizona my whole life but I have been lucky enough to travel around a bunch, thanks to having two flight attendants as parents. I started embroidering this past month and quickly fell in love with it. Outside of embroidery I enjoy many other forms of art: drawing, painting, throwing pottery, collage/mixed media, etc. I love being able to explore all forms of art and allow my knowledge from separate mediums to influence me in my endeavours.
