Liz Collins

She has expertise in textile media including the transition of fabric into multi-dimensional forms as a method to vary the scale of her pieces to make them architectural and inviting rather than object-based.

[6] In the middle stages of her fashion design career, she could no longer afford to finance her label's labor wages and meet society's demand of product.

Art Review describes her as "at once warm, carefree and unpredictable, simultaneously invite and disarm; they enact an effortless embrace of the everyday, as well as a tightly orchestrated celebration of an oblique and open-ended personal cosmology.

"[11] "Knit-Grafting" is a term created by Liz Collins that is used to describe her artistic process of reconstructing garments and is most specifically used in her work as a fashion designer.

[5] It was a site-specific installation with collaborative performance that revealed some facets of the textile and apparel manufacturing processes by demonstrating costumed seamstresses manually working on knitting machines.

[12] This work aimed to bring awareness to topics such as sexuality and gender within fashion, labor, and the issue of sustainable practices through immersive, visual means.

"[14] Other artwork by Liz Collins incorporates recycled textiles from previous art pieces, abstract designs, and structural components like poles and fences.

[15] Her work exists on a plane of varying sizes, from intimate, fibrous wall hangings to life-size installations that transport the audience to a temporary alternative universe.

[10] Collins emphasizes interactive multi-media art that embodies various textures, scents, and colors in the materials to help make the audience's experiences multi-sensory.
