Archive
Karen Davis and Pepa Martin create collectible sculptural objects inspired by landscape, colour and form. Their hand-shaped works are collected internationally and commissioned for private residences, hospitality projects and significant commercial interiors.
Two artists, one sculptural vision
International contemporary sculptural textile artists, united by a shared fascination with colour, form, and material transformation. Working at the intersection of sculpture, textile, and architecture, they create landscape-inspired artworks that explore topography, geological formations, tidal movement, and natural systems.
Through flowing contours, shifting colour fields, and sculptural relief, their works transform cloth into spatial objects that move beyond the traditional language of textile — simultaneously sculptural, architectural, and tactile.
Their artworks have been exhibited internationally and commissioned for private collections, architectural projects, hospitality environments, and public spaces.
Contours of landscape translated into form.
Fields of indigo, ochre, and shifting light.
Textile relief extending beyond the wall.
From intimate objects to architectural interventions.
