Biography

Kevin Kissell holds a BA in Art History, an MA in Apparel Design and an MFA in Fibers from Colorado State University. He also has over 20 years of industry experience from companies such as Gap Inc. and Anthropologie. His areas of specialization include visual merchandising, store design, illustration and non- traditional garment construction methods.
Kevin’s primary artistic practice is weaving where he explores the complexities of unconscious ideas and their manifestations into physical art-objects. His hand-woven cloth challenges the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional form. Kevin feels that weaving is a medium that is intensely familiar to human interaction. We interact with cloth in a nominal relationship, underestimating its importance and power.
