Port Townsend Creative District Artist

Karen Lené Rudd

Visual Arts

I am a conceptual artist who likes to create sculptural and installation work out of commonplace, reclaimed materials, such as cardboard, paper and fabric, and using low-tech, historic or domestic methods of making.

My art is fractal so all of it, no matter how small, fits together into a collective, expanding whole. In the narrow view, my work examines the relationship between people and the natural world, but when all of the pieces fit together, I create a philosophy, a wistful way of seeing, that is informed by history, science, nature and my lived experiences.
