Redefining Art
of Afro-Feminine Form

Working primarily with discarded textiles, Merit Blessing constructs soft compositions that merge sustainability with memory. Her practice draws from a deep engagement with traditional fabric techniques, reimagined through contemporary forms. A long-time arts educator and textile facilitator, Blessing’s work resists linear narratives, instead folding remnants of the everyday into tactile reflections on care, waste, and reinvention.
