ABOUT THE ARTIST   

Juliet Martin has a BA in Visual Arts from Brown University 
and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She has received 
recognition in venues including Unknown/Infinity in New York 
City (sponsored by Taiwan’s Chinese Information and Cultural 
Center), the European Media Art Festival in Berlin, the 
National Innovation Centre in Sydney, and SIGGRAPH. She 
was the director of the undergraduate Digital Design 
Department of Parsons School of Design and a professor in 
the Fine Arts Department at Pace University.

Juliet is certified in and practices SAORI weaving, a Japanese 
form of textile design. SAORI is the zen art of handweaving 
that is dedicated to free expression and self-development. 
She has displayed her award-winning fiber art in New York 
and the New York region.

Juliet applies her skills and techniques in weaving, painting, 
ceramics, and printmaking to fiber art, from sculptures to 
tapestries to mixed-media jewelry design. Her work brings 
together the sensuality of painting and printmaking with the 
textural explicitness of weaving and ceramics.

ABOUT THE WORK 

Can you see me? You will when you see my work. I know you 
will. I’ll never be alone if my work is seen. That is why I am an 
artist.

I use a simpler style of weaving to create complexity. 
Balancing color, texture, and form, I weave aesthetically 
driven, satire-laced hangings. My visual statements offer the 
viewer common ground, finding relief in the humor. “I know 
how you feel; I can see you.”

Sardonic titles and statements reveal artistic intention. Free-
form weaving encourages lighthearted abstraction through 
improvisation.

I never thought yarn could be this expressive. Simple and 
straightforward, more than just fiber. I know yarn and you 
know me.
