For the past five years or so, she has been working on a series of artists' books and large murals for public art projects. When I was young, she worked on a body of collaged fabric pieces. My dad's a glass blower, my mom is more multi-disciplinary. Both of my parents are artists and they put a lot of value on handwork, and things coming from the hand. TG: It has a lot to do with the way I was raised.
we had this big garden in the back of our house.ĪP: I want to know more about the elaborate hand-stitching on your garments.

His paintings are very delicate graphic works, which somehow organically fuse with the intricate hand stitching that is emblematic of Tess's designs.
The two often collaborate on Tess's projects - specifically on building the concept of her presentations. It's white and airy, but somehow the environment feels very cozy. She lives with her husband, Jon Widman, a painter, amidst many books, records, and CDs in a work/live space in center of the meat packing district.

Tess Giberson is one of those rare individuals who has a very particular style.
