Bio
Anette Millington explores the psychological depth of decorative language in her fiber works and prints, which merge botanical imagery with principles of symmetry. Through repeats and reflections, she abstracts flora and fauna to create personal symbols and surface patterns for folded geometric sculptures.
Exhibition highlights include the two-person exhibition, Infinite Forms: Facets, Fabric, and Fiber at the Museum of Mathematics in New York, NY, Paper Made II at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, in Fort Wayne, IN and "Material Reasoning" at the Center for Craft in Asheville, NC. Additional accomplishments include an artist residency at the Center of Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT and receiving the Center of Craft’s Materials-Based Research Grant. Her writing and artwork have been featured in national periodicals, including the Surface Design Journal and Fiber Art Now. She has been reviewed online by Hyperallergic, and in print by the Boston Globe.
Anette is Interim Director of the MFA Textiles Program and Assistant Professor of Fashion Systems and Materiality at Parsons School of Design. Anette attended the School of Visual Arts for her MFA and received a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art. She lives and works in Beacon, NY and New York City, NY.
