Valise user Christy Matson is an artist based in Los Angeles. Her latest exhibition, “Index Color,” opened November 9 at Philip Martin Gallery in Los Angeles and remains on view through December 21. Below, we discuss how she creates her “woven wall-based works,” what is gained and lost as we translate the world and artworks into pictures, and art museums’ recent embrace of textiles.

Philip Martin is proud to present a solo exhibition of new wall-mounted works by Los Angeles-based artist, Christy Matson. Christy Matson’s woven, wall-mounted works combine the skill, sensitivity and craft of painting and hand weaving with the artist-directed process of an industrial Jacquard loom.
