Diane Núñez
Diane Núñez, a suburban Detroit based textile artist, treats fiber as a living environment that shifts, reacts, and transforms with light, movement, and space. Her landscape architecture background led her to approach fabric as a form of spatial inquiry, where structure and material behavior open new ways of understanding form.
Using a sketchbook and stitching as tools, she is drawn to the logic of pattern and repetition and how these systems evolve when translated into dimensional objects. Bright color and movement activate each piece, allowing shadow, reflection, and viewer motion to generate shifting rhythms and colors. Traditional and non‑traditional materials collaborate to form sculptural, responsive works.
Her award‑winning fiber sculptures appear in public and private collections worldwide and been featured in leading art and design publications. As one critic noted, “Núñez’s creations are a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of fiber artists who refuse to be confined.”
