About The Artist
Elena Kanagy-Loux is a PhD candidate at Bard Graduate Center (BGC). Her research into global lace history and the lives of lacemakers is grounded in her own experience as a maker. After earning a BFA in Textile Design from FIT, she embarked on a four-month, grant-funded trip to study lacemaking across Europe. Upon her return, she co-founded Brooklyn Lace Guild, an organization dedicated to the preservation of making lace by hand. In 2018, she completed her MA in Costume Studies at NYU and began working as the Collections Specialist at the Antonio Ratti Textile Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was commissioned to create special bobbin lace designs for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and for the 2022 BGC exhibition Threads of Power: Lace in the Textilmuseum St. Gallen, as well as creating an experimental lace reconstruction for the EU-funded project Refashioning the Renaissance.
