ABOUT
ARTIST BIOHaley Mitchell is a Kansas City-based artist who explores domesticity and the significance of daily objects. Her creative process involves experiencing the every day without the monotony of habit. She employs a range of fiber processes, with a particular focus on sewing and papermaking, to replicate common objects. Through her work, she synthesizes societal impacts into replicated objects, such as toilet paper and composition notebooks, that prompt the viewer to examine their relation to politics and social norms. Haley is a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute and recipient of the Barbara L. Kuhlman Scholarship.
