Region: Midwest
Dee Clements is an artist, designer, and entrepreneur working
under the name Studio Herron. Her practice spans soft product
design, craft, and art. She uses weaving, tufting, drawing, and
painting to investigate well-being and meaning in the realm of
the domestic, and views textiles as an ever-changing and flexible
way to examine the emotional side of soft objects. In a hard,
technologically advanced world where anything and everything is
accessible on a screen at the push of a button, she aims to slow
down, with work that offers a tactile and sensory experience, one
that invites comfort and joy while examining the human imprint
in both the utilitarian and the aesthetic. Clements is a processbased
artist whose work incorporates painting and drawing, 3D
design, textiles, and products. She has a deep love of and interest
in materials, ideas, invention, and experimentation.
