Steven KP graduated from the University of Wisconsin (BFA 2017) and the Rhode Island School of Design (MFA 2020). He is currently a visiting lecturer at the Massachusets College of Arts and Design in Boston. Introduced to woodworking by his grandfather at an early age, this technique has become the object of his family heritage. His brooches, which look like soft knots unfolding on the wearer’s torso, reflect the character of the piece of wood from which they are made: a mass within which knots, scars and sinuous shapes are already present, long before the artist’s intervention. The knots thus revealed by KP’s hands are light and rigid, in contrast with their dark and flowing aspect.
