Amy Revier is a Texan artist based in London. Working single-handedly from her studio in Hampstead, Revier creates one of a kind textiles and garments on a traditional wooden floor loom. She meticulously selects hand-dyed yarns sourced from Japan and the Scottish Highlands, spending weeks working with spun material, taking it from thread to textile to garment. Revier develops the textile intuitively, deciding the final shape as she weaves and allows it to come to life.

Before moving to London, Revier was based in Iceland as a J. William Fulbright scholar where she developed her research into the relationship between sculpture and textiles. Drawing from a wide range of references across textile history and literature, Revier’s approach reflects a refined sensibility focused on process and technique. The making of each textile is as much about the act of weaving as it is about the final offering; each garment is a remnant of the solitary and ritual-like process of weaving.
