This week we are speaking with Erin Riley from Brooklyn, NY.

Erin is a tapestry weaver who has dedicated her time and life to creating tapestries that portray different aspects of culture that are either overlooked or are difficult to confront. Since receiving her MFA from the Tyler School of Art she has done many solo and group exhibitions all over the country and the world and has received many awards. Her work often focuses on the darker side of our culture. A few of the subjects she has covered have been nude figures from pornography or selfies, drug paraphernalia, and mental illness. The tapestries she creates has evolved over time to showcase her skills as a weaver, but also her eye as a dedicated artist.

We hope you enjoy our conversation as we talk to Erin about how she became a weaver, discovering and establishing her artistic voice, and how she feels she fits into the weaving community.
