Jamie Langhoff - Seeing in Fabric

Date: 2015-09-27

This is an audio slideshow featuring Jamie Langhoff, the self-taught, Washington, D.C.-based sewn fiber artist. She creates and sells art under the name, "Seeing in Fabric."

In her home studio in Columbia Heights, Jamie creates sewn urban landscapes that, at first, appear to be paintings. But while she may have began her artistic endeavors as an oil painter, she quickly grew frustrated by the messy limitations of that medium. Instead, harkening back to her mother's roots in sewing, she abandoned her paint brushes and began making scenes entirely in fabric and thread. 
Since 2004, she has been creating her own unique style of fabric applique artwork, inspired by the strange beauty of the juxtaposition of the natural and artificial in our modern urban world.
