Kimberly Bush - Featured Artist

Why Not Art is proud to showcase the work of Kimberly Bush. We have shown Bush's work in multiple contexts, including Belonging - A Textile Art Exhibition at the Old Stone House and as part of Atlantic Ave Art Walk 2024. Most recently Bush was one of the selected artists in The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, opening in October 2024.

Kimberly Bush (Brooklyn, NY and Asbury Park, NJ) works primarily in textiles, watercolor, and collage. My work is an exploration of texture, pattern, and form found in universal symbols and nature. I create imagery on felt, fabric, and paper that combine collage, watercolor, and found materials using ink, thread, wool, cotton, and silk fibers. 

Artist statement: Making objects by hand has a long history as a poetic and spiritual practice. Creating is an act that respects the known, unknown, and not-yet-conscious of our collective human experience. It acknowledges the need that human beings must mark time, create beauty, and mitigate trauma using our own bodies.
