Molly Koehn is an artist, designer, and instructor who currently lives and works in Houston, TX, where the endless construction and expansion provide constant fuel to her practice. Molly received an MFA with an emphasis in fibers from Arizona State University (2017), and her current bodies of work carry on the delicate, expressive qualities of her background and BFA in drawing from Fort Hays State University (2013). Melding a practice of drawing, weaving, and sculptural installation, Molly’s work examines idealizations of nature, exploring the “improvements” of our surroundings that often eradicate the natural in preference of the artificial.

Notes from the artist

Woven line by line, layer by layer, and color by color, reflectors embrace the ever-shifting urban skyline. These responsive works observe the temporal qualities of our fabricated environments, becoming monuments and mirrors to time. They are as much a skyscraper as they are an empty lot. They are a window as much as they are the sky, and they are native as much as they are cultivated. They blur the line between natural and artificial and ask questions about whether a line exists at all.
