Bethany Mabee Art + Textiles
Forms evolve into new iterations, only to return and regenerate the process once more.
Bethany Mabee is a Midwest artist and textile designer.
Exploring symbolism through process, color, and pattern.
Drawing inspiration from the repeating rhythms of nature, Bethany’s studio practice unfolds cyclically. Moving from palette planning to painting, from painting to pattern and from pattern to collage, each stage of her process informs the next.
Palette to Painting.
Small sections of Bethany’s original paintings are digitally isolated and transformed into patterns for fabric and wallpaper. Bethany’s textile collections allow her paintings to extend beyond the canvas and into interior spaces
Painting to Pattern.
Collage serves as a return to the tactile origins of the studio process. Painted canvas scraps, works on paper and fabric remnants are rearranged into new compositions.
