Teresa Sullivan

Teresa Sullivan was trained by Joyce J. Scott, using the peyote-stitch and other stitches from across the world to create figural works with beads. Sullivan uses the format to play with dichotomies.

Sullivan, like Scott, pushes the idea of wearable into new realms.

“I use ancient weaving techniques to transform tiny, delicate glass beads into bold, self supporting artworks.” -TS
