Beth Pellegrino is an American textile artist, based in Boston, Massachusetts. Creating dimensional pieces using recycled cotton made from fabric remnants, her work takes on a depth that allows light to reflect from certain angles while highlighting texture from others. Drawing inspiration from artisanal techniques discovered during cultural travels, Beth enjoys the challenge of creating something unique from materials otherwise viewed as ordinary essentials. Her contemporary work reflects the duality of complexity and simplicity. Upon close examination, her work reveals a myriad of intricate hand-maneuvered details, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the depth and dimension of each piece. Stepping back, intricate details seamlessly blend into a more simplistic whole, capturing the essence of clarity that emerges from complexities when viewed from afar. Her work has been shown and displayed both throughout the United States and internationally. The recycled cotton is made of pre-consumer textile waste that would be otherwise headed for landfills. Scraps and offcuts from garment production are compiled and color grouped, then pulverized into a fine pulp and transformed into thin thread. This process means that no additional dyes are added to create color, making color lots change and each piece completely unique.
