Caren Garfen

I am an award-winning artist and have exhibited internationally. I specialise in textiles, meticulous hand-stitching, and intensive research. When these facets are combined, the artworks become discourses relating to issues that affect us as a society. In 2019, I began examining and creating works relating to the Holocaust and contemporary antisemitism, searching out objects including vintage optical lenses, dolls-house accessories, and domestic ware, which when positioned alongside the stitched cloth, become potent and thought-provoking devices.
