Yulie Urano

Even though it is officially winter in Aotearoa New Zealand, visitors are still coming to the studio.

This past few weeks there have been quite a few visitors. Some are newly local, some came from far away (Australia, USA and Ireland). One of the latest, a couple from the United States who have recently moved to Māwhera Greymouth, introduced Yulie Urano, an artist from Kansas in the USA.

Orano is interested in materials and explores these through textile techniques. Hair becomes a portrait, wool and cotton become a costume, and paper becomes a substrate for needlework.
