Alunna Inara Wiranatakusumah

Short Bio

I grew up in Indonesia, surrounded by the rich traditions of textiles and crafts. From an early age, I was drawn to the colors, patterns, and textures that could be created from fiber. These influences continue to shape my practice today, as I explore the intersections of tradition, experimentation, and personal expression.

Currently, I am pursuing my BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), where I focus on Fiber and Material Studies. My work combines weaving, felting, fabric manipulation, and sculptural forms, often reflecting themes of memory, comfort, identity, and connection to place.
