b. 1972, United States
Channing Hansen is a polymath, simultaneously pursuing interests in craft, science, and technology in his work.
He was born in 1972 in Los Angeles, California, USA, where he continues to live and work.
His large hand-knitted textiles are mounted on wooden stretchers and feature vibrant, abstract forms that undulate across their web-like surfaces. An extremely labour-intensive process, the artist skirts, washes, dyes, blends, and spins the wool himself.
