TEXTILES GALLERY
For the past three decades, Laurie Olinder has made art on the Lower East side of Manhattan- from abstract nature-inspired watercolors and ink drawings, to colassal multi-media theater productions. She pulls from this vast archive for her debut textile collection, reimagining her original paintings into patterns printed on fabric. Rendered as repeats, Olinder's exhuberant designs become a fantastical eden of plants, tenfdrils, blossoms and seeds all of it spiraling through whirling eddies and midnight skies, and thrumming with the vitality of the city that fuels her.
