Elizabeth Hohimer is an artist from Texas, born in 1991. She received her BFA in Textiles from the California College of the Arts. She is currently working from an adobe in Taos. Her work is bound through an intersection of skilled tradition and a contemporary dialog between materials, memory and self.

 

Hohimer works between two European floor looms to create her Woven Paintings. These works along with Hohimer's steel and agave fiber soft sculptures represent harnessed feelings from immersing oneself in a color, place or emotion. 

 

Hohimer's woven paintings carry in them a lingering atmospheric nostalgia. Her studio practice is built behind the inherent trust that through channeling sublime emotions and recalling such lived experiences while making there will be a transference and merging with these feeling into the woven paintings being produced. The suspended passage of time that takes place where the horizon line is visible is integral for clarity to be found for Elizabeth. Process choices within production give time and space for the artist to re-harmonize dissonance, gaining potency. A sense of ethereal, allegorical, philosophical tendencies that are not grounded or interested in reality of the present are integrated into her practice.
