Teresa Kiplinger

“My poetic, wearable stories are inspired by lovelorn letters, forgotten hoards and treasured reliquaries. My work explores themes of legacy, isolation and loss. I am particularly fond of incorporating handwriting, words and illustration in my designs, as well as motifs from my childhood in rural Ohio such as insects, weeds, erosion and ephemera.”
