Evelyn Politzer, originally from Uruguay, now lives and works in Miami, Florida. After attending law school in Montevideo and moving to the United States, she pursued her passion for art, her beginnings being in tapestry and knitting. Creating art with wool was only natural for Evelyn, as she's from Uruguay, where the number of sheep far exceeds the number of inhabitants. Even though she creates fibers through traditional methods like knitting, crochet and embroidery, the objects Politzer makes are unconventional and seek to spark a conversation on subjects like place, womanhood, and the fragility of the environment. Working with natural fibers gives her a sense of comfort and belonging while she strives “to knit the impossible, and give voice to the voiceless.”
