Edith Abeyta

Edith Abeyta is an installation artist residing in Los Angeles. She has shown locally and nationally, receiving a public arts commission from the Regional Arts and Culture Council of Oregon. She co-founded and co-operated an artist run gallery and currently is on the board of the Arroyo Arts Collective. Her art explores the undisclosed narratives that salvaged and scavenged objects inherently contain.

Taking scissors to discarded mattresses, saws to cast away furniture, stooping to investigate bits of found paper she combines the re-purposing of post-consumptive artifacts with traditional women's craft methods to investigate various aspects of production and consumption.
