Karen Gayle Tinney is an artist and designer whose work consists of pieces that combine ceramic and fiber, drawing inspiration from the interplay of the materials. Within her work, the two materials never live alone, relying on each other for structure and completeness. The fiber components are incorporated where the ceramics leave off; completing the shape or acting as the physical connection between incomplete parts. Each piece is meticulously crafted by the artist in her studio; some pieces taking months to fully complete.
