Woolpunk is an American artist born in Summit, NJ, in 1971, who employs materials and techniques that source women's work creation. Historically, she machine-knits fiber installations, quilts sculptures, and embroiders photographs. Consequently, her work champions social change, addressing issues such as homelessness, landfill waste, water contamination, and deforestation. Referencing her unique stitching and use of fibers, she trademarked the name Woolpunk®, which she has been using creatively since 2004. Most recently, the artist's public art installations, sculptures, and embroidered photos were on display in the World Trade Center Transit Lobby at the Oculus, the Bergdorf Goodman windows, and the gallery at the Fashion Institute of Technology. In 2014, Woolpunk® founded the GIMME SHELTER PROJECT and hosted statewide community stitch-ins to bring awareness of the increase in homelessness in New Jersey. The stitch-ins created weatherised blankets, and the participants donated their charitable work to the PERC Emergency Shelter in Union City, NJ; Parsons School of Design featured the project. Woolpunk's embroidered photographs and sculptures are in the permanent collections of Liberty State Park, the Zimmerli Museum, the Eileen Kaminsky Family Foundation Collection, and the Montclair Art Museum, among others. Media highlights include Embroidery Magazine, Surface Design Journal, Art Spiel, The New York Times, State of the Arts, WCBS, and National Public Radio.
