about the show
In Emotional Landscapes, stephanie granillo invites you to reflect on uncertainty and change, and to honor the silent stories embedded into life and textiles.
Stephanie Granillo uses found textiles and upcycled materials to echo the shapes of our lives, translating moments of upheaval & renewal into language, color, texture and form.
Hand-stitched and presented as a pair, each quilt is both a tactile meditation and a visual diary, capturing the subtle interplay between chaos and calm that defines our inner worlds. Together, these works invite you to reflect on uncertainty and change.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Steph Granillo is an Austin-based quilt artist whose work celebrates the joy and beauty that can be found in unexpected places. Inspired by everyday moments and forgotten fabrics, she weaves color, texture, and pattern to honor the silent stories embedded into life and textiles.
