ABOUT
Riley Cox is a multidisciplinary artist, researcher and tinkerer from North Carolina, currently living in Baltimore, Maryland. Working with textiles, circuitry, digital fabrication and biology, she utilizes the language of mechanical production and lab based processes while maintaining a tenderness and sense of care that is associated with handcraft. Her process is an act of collaboration, combining her own hand, aesthetic sensibilities and instincts with the machines and organisms she work with. In her work, she looks to build a more poetic, emotional relationship to science and technology, often inventing her own mythologies and speculative uses of tech.
