Kayla Mattes archives the ephemerality of digital culture through the interconnected threads of weaving. Her handwoven tapestries embrace the narrative and technological history embedded in the act of materializing thread into the woven grid. Driven by meme-culture, current events, and the chaos of our digital lives, her work weaves together narratives that simultaneously act as jokes and social commentary.
Mattes has exhibited her work nationally and internationally including solo exhibitions at Charlie James Gallery, (Los Angeles), MSU Broad Art Museum (Michigan), Asia Art Center (Taipei, TW), Richard Heller Gallery (Los Angeles), and California Center for the Arts Museum (Escondido, CA). Recent group exhibitions include Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (Melbourne, AU), Benton Museum of Art (Pomona, CA), and Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (Portland, OR). Her work is held in the permanent collections of LACMA, Crocker Art Museum, MSU Broad Art Museum, and The Bunker Artspace, and has been featured in The Guardian, Artnet, and New American Paintings, as well as the books Weaving: Contemporary Makers on the Loom and Loop, Hook, Loom. Mattes received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2011 and her MFA from University of California, Santa Barbara in 2019. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
