Working with wool was only natural in her native country, where the number of sheep far exceeds the number of inhabitants. Evelyn Politzer is looking to convey nature’s plea for interconnectedness through yarn, thread, and fabric. Using traditional methods like knitting, crochet, and embroidery, Evelyn creates unconventional objects, from small 2D tapestries to monumental sculptural forms. She mainly works with hand-dyed, soft natural fibers because of their unique tactile quality that allows her to enjoy the passing of time through her sense of touch.
