Xander Marrow

I came across a fantastic screen printer and quilter, Xander Marrow, by way of the blog for the Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery in Milwaukee. (Faythe Levine, one of the two owners of PBG&B, is the very person shooting Handmade Nation--the upcoming documentary on indie craft across America) Her work is beautiful! The artists that show at PBG&B make me wish I had a way to visit and/or live in Milwaukee (of all places). So basically, I am just reposting all the information that is already on their store blog :)


See?!
Museum of Tiny Things

And apparently everytime she prints an amazing multi-color screenprint poster on paper she makes a couple on fabric to quilt later, or sell individually so that YOU can quilt her posters--awesome!

According to the interview she does performance art and many different mixed media processes; you can read the interview and more about Xander here. I think the most interesting part about seeing such fun fiber work is how I followed an information trail back to where she makes her work, crazy awesome feminist art co-op, DirtPalace!

I want to do their window project so badly! Dirt Palace is sort of a whole other wonderful story, so I'll save that for everyone else to look into.
