More beautiful tapestries by Diedrick Brackens, b 1989, Mexia, Texas. Lives and works in Los Angeles.

“I was born in a small town in Texas but I really grew up on Army bases around the country, my father was in the Army. My family is from Texas and I went to high school and college in Texas. I think growing up in a household that wasn’t defined by the home we lived at any given moment but was defined by our relationship to Texas, the South, and family in Mexia, Texas. So in some ways I have always been interested in the ideas of searching, navigation, mapping, etc. by virtue of growing up with distance from family, spending countless hours on road trips to and fro.”

Diedrick Brackens is a Los Angeles-based artist working in the medium of textiles. He received his BFA from the University of North Texas, Denton, Texas, and his MFA in textiles from California College of the Arts, Oakland, California. He is an assistant professor and program head of the fiber department at California State University Long Beach.
