- Description
- I’m an ex-academic textile worker interested in the practice and politics of mending.
- About
- I specialize in hand-repairs of knitwear and blankets but take commissions only occasionally (for barter/trade). I can be swayed by art collaborations asking decolonial questions—or by precious family items needing thoughtful repair.
- Bio
- Keavy Martin (she/her) is a white-bodied ex-academic turned fibre millworker who lives in Edmonton, Alberta, courtesy of the ongoing legal agreement known as Treaty No. 6, and within Region 4 of the Métis Nation of Alberta. She attempts relationship through textile and fibreshed work, particularly mending, which she practices when not parenting–or wrestling a pin-drafter at Qiviut Inc.
