My name is Elliot and I am a nonbinary textile artist, writer, and researcher located in Brooklyn, New York. I combine my love of history and textiles through creating historically inspired knitted, crocheted, embroidered, sewn, woven, hooked, tatted, and appliquéd art. This allows me a physical, hands-on approach to truly embody the lived experiences of people and collectives who have been creating textiles across history.

I am a lifelong crafter and maker with a passion for fixing and reconstructing objects that catch my fascination. My earliest memories are filled with learning to sew, embroider, crochet, and knit. From burleque costumes based on 14th century Sephardi Jewish scholars to recreations of clothing from Iron Age Danish bog bodies, my handwork has always reflected my fascination with performance, history, and the queer lives and bodies of pre-modern people. Today, my art is primarily inspired by my continued research into the history of material culture and my own process of medically and socially transitioning as a transmasculine person.
