About the Artist
Elana Bloom employs the historical tradition of natural dyeing to create imaginary works from threads, papers, textiles, and upcycled fabrics. A wanderer and forager, she enjoys gathering her own dye materials and brews vibrant dyes with the natural resources she finds around her home. Bloom's work explores themes of gender and body politics, including aging, childlessness, ancestry, and size. She also creates wearable pieces, most notably silk scarves. Born in Berkeley, California, Bloom grew up in the lush landscape of the Puget Sound region of Washington State and the high-desert mountains of Northern Arizona. She is a graduate from Smith College with a BA in women and gender studies, emphasizing women's history and literature. Her studies in gender, as well as in English literature, women's history, and social theory inspire many of the themes explored in her work. She loves stories, interiors, dreams, artifacts, travel, fashion, mythology, design, times past, and the natural world.Artist Website:
