#creator's project

Check out my interview on The Creator’s Project -- I had a blast chatting with Giaco Furino about weaver fever, how I got into the craft, and my new book On the Loom!

Sally Nixon's illustrations are beautiful, accurate representations of daily life for women. The Creator's Project noted:

They’re not posing, smiling, or doing anything all that interesting, and this is what makes Nixon’s works fascinating. Women live in a world in which our appearance is constantly evaluated—unless we’re utterly alone, we rarely have the privilege of not having our physical presentation judged.  Seeing women in art who aren’t being watched and aren’t being assessed, who aren’t sucking in their stomachs, arching their backs, or dewily parting their lips, is wonderful, refreshing, and deeply relatable.

They remind me of Edward Hopper's women, but more intimately, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Check out more of Nixon's work here, and shop Nixon's Etsy here.
