Catherine DeGennaro is a weaver and textile artist based in Brooklyn, NY.

Largely self-taught, she was inspired to begin her first experiments in weaving through encounters with different textile traditions across the world on her travels producing / managing tours for theater. She spent the majority of the pandemic in the company of the floor loom, following a well-timed intro course at the Textile Arts Center in January 2020.

Reflecting her background in music and radio, her woven pieces often evoke waveforms and sonic patterns and explore the intertwined histories of textiles and technology with a DIY bent and amateur enthusiasm.

Most recently, she is excited about integrating e-textiles into her weaving practice via deliberately slow and handmade methods, exploring our systems of communication / consumption and embodying our connection to their material and mechanics.
