About FIBROUS

-the artist- Ellen Bruxvoort is the designer and maker behind FIBROUS — a modern take on a traditional art form. Founded in Austin, Texas in 2015, Ellen began tapestry weaving as a hobby, which slowly expanded into a full time job exploring everything from retail production to commercial art installations. Her practice is informed by both traditional Peruvian weavers and contemporary fiber artists alike. Ellen wears all the hats of this operation, and appreciates y’all for supporting small. It really does make a difference. -the namesake- FIBROUS leans on a concept of connectedness and the idea that I am because we are. I believe nothing is accomplished alone in this life and that our entire existence is woven into the existence of that which surrounds us. Just as a fibrous object has inherent strength due to the nature of its individual parts working together as a whole, my vision for this brand is one of seamless support between maker and community, making life as an artist not only possible, but sustainable. www.fibrous.co Read their story
