MOLLY HAYNES (b. 1992, USA)
Molly Haynes is a Los Angeles-based artist focused on tactile sculptures that explore structure and materiality. Her hand-woven forms blur the line between humans and the natural world, often appearing both organic and mechanical. Haynes earned her B.F.A. in Textiles at the Rhode Island School of Design and went on to design for the interior textiles industry, where she gained a deep understanding of fibers and the construction of cloth. After several years, she delved into her personal practice to focus on handmade works that are free of utilitarian constraints. Her work has been exhibited internationally including Colony in New York, Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran in Montreal, Arden and White Gallery in Connecticut, and la BEAST Gallery in Los Angeles. She has been featured in numerous magazines including Luxe, W Magazine, and Cover Magazine. She gave a lecture on her work at Craft in America in 2023 and will be teaching at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in 2024.
