Vic is an nth-generation East Tennessee native and seventh-generation textile artist. They work professionally in environmental field work, agriculture, and community data, and personally on getting in the middle of a big mess and cutting their way out.

Vic’s artistic work focuses on reclaimed and mended textiles designed for daily use, rooted in embodiment and a sense of place, and based around ideas of mourning and memory, scrap and salvage, queerness and ghosts.

They have been a resident artist at institutions including Pine Meadow Ranch, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, & the Sable Project, and have had their work exhibited at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, the Carnegie Library Knoxville Branch, and Camp Grits.
