Huhn has long been fascinated with various methods of transferring image, design and pattern to cloth. She is considered a pioneer in the various transfer techniques that she has worked extensively with in the last 22 years. Huhn compares her work with that of a storyteller. The stories She tells through her work reflect the way she views the world- often a brash voice in a room of hushed tones. Her sometimes-controversial textiles arise more from conviction than contrariness. How one might interpret Huhn’s work is of course, unquestionably personal. |
