Virginia Catherall

I am a textile artist and knitwear designer of wearable landscapes. I live and work in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am inspired by the incredible, rugged and sublime landscape around Utah, Great Salt Lake, and the Great Basin. I design a line of knitted items inspired by the history, landscape, and art of the area. Through this process I am finding meaning in landscape, a type of knitting *terroir*, that brings my home, my place, into the forefront of my life. And because of that, I have come to hone my thinking about environmentalism, conservation, and preservation of land.
