Chery Hutchens is a textile artist and needleworker living and working on Kaurna country, South Australia.
She uses cloth and stitch to explore human identity from a naturalist perspective.

 

She combines research from science and material culture to delve into ideas associated with the human place in the natural world, the Anthropocene epoch and our changing climate. 

Her work pieces together ideas relating to ecology, health, apocalyptic futures, throwaway culture, and fashion history in embroideries that are equally beautiful and unsettling. 

​

Her education includes a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Hons) from the University of South Australia and a trade certificate in dressmaking from Tafe SA. Cheryl has exhibited locally and nationally, and her work is included in the University of Adelaide Art Collection. She is a member of Switchboards Studios, Norwood.
