Meredith Morrison (b. 1989) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice seeks to negotiate and sustain memory-material relationships. Morrison’s work is process-based and experimental, embedding itself in traditional fiber and craft techniques. She often calls upon intuition, meditative labor, and repetition to collect and build beaded cloths and designed objects in a systematic composition. In 2013 Morrison received her Bachelor's of Art in Art + Design, concentrating in Fiber, and a Bachelor's of Science in Textile Technology from North Carolina State University. Influenced by the economy of her home state of North Carolina, and the complicated overlapping of agriculture and textile labor she moved to Chicago, Illinois in 2013 to pursue liaison building between art, craft, and the textile industry. After honing design skills in home furnishings and textile product design she traded the efficiency and scale of manufacturing to consider the slow, hand-building techniques of embellishment. In 2021, she completed her Master's of Fine Art in Fiber at Cranbrook Academy of Art, focusing in beadwork and object building. She has since rooted her studio in Detroit, Michigan where she continues to collect and respond to the material attachments of the Midwest.
