Astrid Hilger Bennett’s abstract textile works are inspired by nature and Chinese, Korean, and Japanese brushwork traditions. “In daily life, I practice active listening and observation. So, while my work does not tell stories, it is a reflection of deeply immersive observations and preverbal experiences. I am committed to sustainability and social justice issues as well as mentoring and giving back. When possible, I create work that has a dual purpose as both wall and functional art,” she says.
