Audrey Montoya - Felting It Weird Part 2 [NX038]

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Audrey Montoya.

Audrey Montoya is a needle felting artist whose melancholic characters are strange in all the right ways. Her affinity for childhood icons and kitsch pop culture began at an early age, but after an education in the world of fine art, her adventure into needle felting has truly crystallised her vision.

This is the second part of our NeedleXChange where we discuss Audrey's solo show, how she fits into the artistic realm and find out the cultural items that float her boat.
