MAZY PATH

ALEXIS AUDETTE [TEXTILES MFA, 2003]

Based in New York, New York

Alexis Audette graduated from the RISD Textiles MFA program in 2003, and designs Mazy Path, a line of botanical fabrics and wallpapers based on her own handmade linocut prints. She also make linocuts as works of art. She creates her prints by hand using water-based inks and Japanese mulberry paper at her home studio in New York City. The subtle variations that result from hand printing make each print one of a kind.

Like her fabrics and wallpapers, Audette’s prints are an exploration of remarkable plants through the lenses of environmental journalism and art history. Trees that mine for heavy metals, mushrooms that create forest communication networks, grasses that fortify soil to increase grain yields: these are some of the botanical wonders that inspire Audette’s work. Her goal is to create captivating botanical images that start conversations about our relationship with the natural world.
