Tracy Krumm

Tracy Krumm’s work is composed using the exploration of traditional trades of both men and women.  Questioning gender-specific techniques of crochet and blacksmithing, Krumm integrates these processes using heavy industrial metal that supports net made of minute lace pattern. The lyrical balance of organic shapes, forms and layers juxtaposed with familiar objects and practices, provides a common language that unites people at a very basic level.

Krumm received her B.F.A. degree from the California College of Arts and Crafts and graduated from Vermont College with an M.F.A.  She currently teaches in the Fiber Department at the Kansas City Art Institute and has taught numerous workshops at venues such as Haystacks, the Penland School and Anderson Ranch.  Krumm has also been a guest artist and lecturer at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Memphis College of Art, California College of the Arts, the University of California at Santa Cruz and the University of Montana in Missoula.

Her work has been featured in numerous museum exhibitions nationally and internationally including the Central Museum of Textiles, in Poland, the Museum of Decorative Art in Prague, the Odder Museum in Denmark, the Museum of Art and Design in New York, the Denver Art Museum, and The Museum of Fine Art in
Santa Fe.
