Biography
Fence 4, 2023
Molly Haynes (b. 1992) is a Los Angeles-based weaver and artist focused on tactile sculptures
that explore structure and materiality. Her vibrating forms blur the line between humans and the
natural world, often appearing both organic and mechanical. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for
unconventional materials, her work is an evolving dialogue between dueling forces—controlled
chaos, hand and machine, the ephemeral and permanent.
Haynes earned her B.F.A. in Textiles at the Rhode Island School of Design and went on to
design for the interior textiles industry, where she gained a deep understanding of fibers and the
construction of cloth. After several years, she delved into her personal practice to focus on
handmade works that are free of utilitarian constraints. Her work has been exhibited
internationally including New York, Los Angeles, London, and Montreal. She has been featured
in numerous magazines including Luxe, W Magazine, and Cover Magazine . She was named
one of Apartment Therapy’s 20 Design Changemakers to Know in 2020, and was a guest on the
Today Show in 2019. You may listen to her speak about her work in the Season 2, Episode 4 of
Ongoingness Podcast.
