It was designer\u00a0Steven Miller\u2014no slouch in the taste department\u2014who first showed me the work of Jenny Hacker, a San Francisco-based textile artist.\u00a0It was a blanket\u2014black on black\u2014with two different textiles fused together, one\u00a0side organic cotton and the other, felted wool.<\/p>\n
A triumph of\u00a0texture and form, and\u00a0dramatic, organic, sophisticated, sensual, it was one of the most beguiling pieces of functional art\u00a0I\u2019ve seen of late.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Doing a little background research for the interview was no mean feat. At a time when so many tread the same art-meets-craft sales circuits and tend their Instagram feeds with greater passion than their craft,\u00a0this woman\u00a0was mysterious. A minimalist\u00a0website\u00a0was all there was. Even better. A trip out to the deliciously\u00a0un-hip Excelsior District in San Francisco was a good start.<\/p>\n
So was poking around the garage-turned-workshop: a vat of something brewing in the corner, a few bottles holding another experiment (homemade dyes from flowers in the yard),\u00a0tatami mats on the floor, vintage Knoll chairs, a drool-worthy assortment of books on fashion, Japanese anime figurines\u2026 Oh, and an old letterpress nestled beneath a work table.<\/p>\n
