Greg Climer combines the slow, meticulous crafts of quilting and knitting with pixelated digital composites of images from the news, pornography, and his personal archive, heavily edited or re-generated with AI. Climer’s work mediates on the joys of community, intimacy, and resilience against the backdrop of political realities like prejudice and climate change. His work has been shown in many museums and galleries, including the Museum of Art and Design (NYC), Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art (NYC), Museum of Craft and Design (SF), DeYoung Museum (SF), San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, Mint Museum of Art (Charlotte, NC), Muskegon Museum of Art (MI). Climer has also worked on the design teams for Victoria’s Secret Runway Show, Karl Lagerfeld, Imitation of Christ, John Bartlett, as well as many broadway shows and movies. He is currently the chair of the fashion program at California College of the Arts.
