Kerri Wert

When Kerri first came to Imagine That, she already had a practice in place. She would tediously scour through the dictionary or thesaurus and find words that related to a theme, writing down the word and it’s phonetic spelling in interesting patterns and colors. Once at the studio, staff introduced her to embroidery, which she quickly fell in love with. She began taking her lists and applying them to embroidered pieces, resulting in beautiful tapestries of language. This continued to develop into a practice of weaving patterns, and figures into mesh grids.
