Made of Dreams

Christi Jay’s work spans from textile art to jewelry to sculpture, all inspired by nature and shapes inherently formed in our minds and in the greater cosmos.  The inconsistencies in the forms of nature are combined with sacred geometry in an attempt to find a perfect balance of raw and refined. In wearable art, the interaction of rigid geometric forms with the organic human form pose an opportunity to create a harmony between the two.

She was raised in Jupiter, a small beach town in South Florida, and spent 10 years in Los Angeles as a fashion designer. In mid-2014 a series of happy accidents occurred that sent her across the country to a skylit studio in NYC and gave her the opportunity to become  a full time artist/designer/jeweler.

Currently, Christi can be found embroidering and dyeing her limited edition collection of clothing, Made of Dreams, and working at the studios of the Artist in Residency program at Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn.
