She juxtaposes seemingly simple textiles with complex issues like eating disorders to create compelling and informative installation art. Caren\u2019s art does not hang neatly on a wall. Instead, she creates provocative examinations of issues that especially affect women.<\/p>\n<p>Her latest installation art called \u2018Room for Improvement\u2019 is a classic example that exposes the overwhelming disparity between the need for and availability of services related to eating disorders in the UK. This \u2018From conception to creation\u2019 article gives you an inside look at how that work came to life, as well as introduces you to the considerations and techniques that go into \u2018installation art\u2019 in general.<\/p>\n<p>Caren\u2019s work has been exhibited widely in the UK and Europe, as well as Japan, United States, Canada and Australia. She recently received the prestigious Textile Society Development Award and has been a member of The 62 Group of Textile Artists since 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Name of piece: Room for Improvement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caren Garfen is known for tackling tough topics.
