CAROL PAIK

Carol Paik is an artist based in New York, splitting her time between New York City and Pound Ridge.

Carol grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts. She received a BA in Social Studies from Harvard College, and a JD and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia University.

She is interested in many different media, but most enjoys working with repurposed textiles. After years of buying expensive and often toxic materials for her work, her goal now is to create art exclusively out of the unappreciated, overlooked, landfill-destined stuff she finds around her, of which there is a great abundance.

She tries, in her work, to bring together disparate elements in new ways. She prefers to avoid labels and rigid categories, in her art as well as in her life.
