Lauren DiCioccio for Open Editions
Lauren DiCioccio lives in San Francisco and works primarily in the media of soft sculpture and embroidery. Her work explores the expressive qualities of cloth and thread; she uses these materials to make objects about empathy, nostalgia, melancholy and joy. Lauren is one of the co-founders of Open Editions.
Open Editions works with contemporary artists to manufacture, wholesale, and retail products that bring art to your daily life. Their goal is to provide artists with passive income in the form of royalty payments, and to provide you with meaningful objects that tell a story about these artists. 90% of Open Editions production expenditures stay in their local San Francisco Bay Area manufacturing community.
