Evelyn Politzer

Evelyn Politzer, originally from Uruguay, now lives and works in Miami, Florida. After attending law school in Montevideo, Uruguay and moving to the United States she pursued her passion for art. Her beginnings were in tapestry and knitting. Creating with wool was only natural in her native country of Uruguay, where the number of sheep far exceeds the number of inhabitants. Even though she creates through traditional methods like knitting, crochet and embroidery, the objects she makes are unconventional and seek to spark a conversation on subjects such as place, motherhood, breast cancer and the fragility of the natural environment. These fiber works give her a sense of comfort and belonging while she strives “to knit the impossible, and give voice to the voiceless.”
