EPISODE FIFTEEN:: Kylie Norton - Embroidery Artist - Exploring Intersectional Feminist Theory, Menstruation, and Indigenous Culture and Traditions

Summary: In Episode 15, I spoke to Kylie Norton who is an embroidery artist from New Zealand. Kylie makes incredible, intricate large scale embroidery pieces with wool yarns that she cuts up and reravels together to get the colours she wants. many of her pieces take over 4 months to create. She explores intersectional feminism as well as indigenous culture in her work and in particularly interested in the treatment of women surrounding their menstrual cycles. I’ve loved every conversation I’ve had on the close knit podcast, but I have to say that this one felt particularly important, and I appreciated kylie’s willingness to share about her work and how it has been impacted by her upbringing and her academic pursuits. If you know me, you’ll know that I talk a lot about menstruation and I found it so refreshing to speak to Kylie about this topic within the fibre arts.
