Karen Krieger's work explores paper, occasionally combined with metal, in both two and three dimensions. The design challenge is bringing order to chaos and using geometric rigidity to rein in unruly patterns. She says, "After years of working in a silver-black palette, I’m energized by these infinite combinations of color and pattern. I’ve stitched abstract collages and collars, woven small works for the wall, and constructed jewelry that combines silver structures with hand-stitched, hollow forms."
