051: A Sneak Peek into San Diego Design Week with Featured Artist Denja Harris

In preparation for San Diego Design Week, I welcome textile and fiber artist Denja Harris to Bewitching the Home to talk about her background, her work, and her inspiration. Denja and her work will be featured during San Diego Design week in a film by Slack Tide Films, which premieres on September 25. We welcome the filmmaker, Alex Palumbo, to tell us about the film, which features San Diego artists from different disciplines. He shares what inspired him to create the film and to work with these particular artists.

Check out the event on September 25, with two showings of the video at 3 and 6 PM. Find more info here.

Guest Bio

Denja Harris is a textile artist based in San Diego, California. Her work explores the world around her reimagined into experimental fiber art. Examining nostalgia by sourcing dead stock yarn in playful, vibrant colors in a variety of textures, she creates layered freeform abstract patterns that take shape in an organic process. Her goal is to have the viewer take a step out of their current reality and explore their own unconscious imagination. Each piece reflects work that is never duplicated, revealing how function and art can be combined to enhance a space and emphasize visual stimulation.
