Briena Harmening

Briena Harmening's work combines humor, critique, and Southern identity in the transformation of domestic and recycled textiles. Utilizing sewing, quilting, and sculptural techniques, she creates unexpected surfaces where stitched and screen-printed imagery interacts with nostalgic materials like quilts, kaftans, tarps, and tablecloths. Harmening's work is rooted in Southern vernacular and storytelling and draws from familiar sayings, regional politics, and the complexities of inherited traditions.
