Xenobia Bailey
Her work blurs boundaries between craft, art, design, and culture
She is one of the true legends of contemporary fibre art — a pioneering American artist whose crochet work transforms yarn into powerful, vibrant statements. She’s best known for large‑scale crochet mandalas, tapestries, immersive installations, and sculptures that blend influences from Africa, Asia, Native America, and 1970s funk culture. Her signature concentric patterns often feel like visual music — vibrant, rhythmic, and alive with colour and movement.
