Ethan is known for what have been described as “woven paintings,” and his work is abstract and full of unexpected color combinations. “I wanted to take the painting out of painting and put the color into the fabric, which led me to making the canvas,” he explains. “My work is about exploring the flatness and physicality of the canvas.”
“I think art is a way of being honest and art can be a way of living or being alive or staying alive. For early art makers art was a way of affirming that you’re human and a part of this world and the viewer is also affirm from just the act of viewing the work.”
