ABOUT

THE ARTIST, WOMAN IN CHARGE

Tami Fuller is a fiber artist based out of East Aurora, New York, working primarily as a weaver and felt artist. She uses her work to explore female focused trauma. Born and raised on a working fiber farm, Tami’s choice to use traditional women’s textile work as a medium to explore the female experience is a natural extension of her own personal growth. Teaching others came naturally. She is self-taught and works in abstract fiber, woven tapestry, felt and soft sculpture to communicate.

Her work is driven by first-person experiences with abuse, and uses tapestry-weaving to explore feelings of entrapment and suspended states. Embedding foreign objects and protrusions within her work is Tami’s way of expressing the struggle to find healthy expression and beauty within damage. She began deliberately interjecting chaotic elements and foreign objects into linear weaving as an exercise in letting go of conforming to external standards, and her weaving mimics this sense of escape and overflow.

She is influenced by Jungian psychology and collective identity concepts, and is especially interested in how the female tendency to internalize damage and societal judgement as a survival technique creates self-imposed confinement. As women, we weave our way through society’s larger framework much like the weft navigating the cage of warp, and struggle to express and escape while balancing our need for for connection. She hopes that her work resonates with others who struggle with similar issues in the current cultural climate.

Studio hours by appointment.
