Evelyn Politzer, originally from Uruguay, now lives and works in Miami, Florida. After attending law school in Montevideo, Uruguay and moving to the United States she pursued her passion for art. Politzer is a 2021 MFA candidate in Visual Arts from MIU. Her beginnings were in tapestry weaving and knitting. Creating with wool was only natural in her native country, where the number of sheep far exceeds the number of inhabitants. Even though she creates through traditional methods like knitting, crochet and embroidery, the objects she makes are unconventional and seek to spark a conversation on subjects such as place, womanhood and the fragility of the natural environment. Working with natural fibers gives her a sense of comfort and belonging while she strives “to knit the impossible, and give voice to the voiceless.”
