Kathy Colt is a textile artist based in
Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. She has conducted an independent study of textile processes, particularly surface design on
cloth, for the past 20 years. While doing elective work in her final year of landscape architectural study (at the University
of Georgia), Kathy was introduced to dyes, dyeing and mechanical resists, and became a dedicated student of textile arts.
Since then, her interests have led to the exploration of a variety of textile print and resist processes, as well as laminated
felting, for both wearable and non-wearable applications. Laminated felting (also known as "nuno felt" and
"nuno rusca") has been the focus of her practice in recent years. Of the many influences that flow into Kathy's
work, the surfaces, details and history of both natural and human-formed landscapes are among the most significant.
Kathy increasingly seeks a fusion of these streams of influence, along with various textile techniques, to create innovative
wearable and sculptural structures.
