Issue 290 March 2, 2010

Caroline Hwang was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, grew up in Southern California, and earned her Bachelor's degree at Art Center College of Design. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York, where she paints, stitches, prints, and dreams of the day she can bring her dogs to live with her. Hwang's work is influenced as much by her grandmother's crocheting and knitting as it is by crafts, graphic arts, quilting, film, and music, among other things. She collages together fabric, thread, and paint to create images that communicate raw human emotion, self-reflection, and the dynamics and difficulty of all relationships. Hwang has been featured in Paper magazine and Swindle Quarterly and has done illustrations for the New York Times, Bust magazine, and HOW Design. Her work has most recently been shown at Clementine Gallery (New York), New Image Gallery (Los Angeles), Motel Gallery (Portland), and 96 Gillespie (London).
