Liz Collins (she/her) is known for pushing the boundaries of art and design through innovative and experimental work in fabric, yarn, and other materials and techniques associated with textile media. Whether in the form of textile, painting, drawing, or installation, Collins frequently explores the dichotomy of structure and entropy—qualities inherent to textile that speak to the fissures present in broader architectural, political, and social structures. Collins’s work has recently been on view in the 60th Venice Biennale, Foreigners Everywhere, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, and in Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction, curated by Lynne Cooke and presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; and Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2025, the RISD Museum in Providence, RI, organized her mid-career retrospective, Liz Collins: Motherlode, which was accompanied by a monograph published by Hirmer.
