Judith Content: The infinite possibilities of Shibori

Judith Content has been a full-time studio artist since 1979. Her work explores the essence of an image, memory, or moment in time.

She finds inspiration in nature’s landscapes, from coastal marshes to desert canyons and hopes the meditative quality of her work encourages viewers to draw upon their own memories and experiences.

Judith has work in several museum collections including The Museum of Art and Design, New York, The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and The Museum of Quilts and Textiles in San Jose as well as several pieces in the state of New Mexico’s Public Art Collection, The city of Nagoya’s shibori collection and numerous private collections across the US.

In this interview, Judith explains how her imagination was captured by shibori and the influence this ancient technique has had on her work. We learn what materials she enjoys experimenting with and how she can’t live without her magical magnetic wand!
