Artist Profile: Korissa Frooman
Overview
Korissa Frooman is a Brooklyn-based anti-disciplinary artist working at the intersection of sculpture, fashion, and material poetics. With a foundation in textile construction and patternmaking from Parsons School of Design, Frooman’s work channels memory through form—bridging the corporeal with the environmental, the ephemeral with the tactile. Her practice embraces contradiction: softness meets rigidity, synthetic meets organic, destruction becomes a form of care.
In Hanging by Threads, Frooman constructs a suspended piece using bioplastic, chiffon, thread, and copper. The work hovers between resilience and collapse, inviting viewers to witness the tension embedded in stretched fibers and stitched fragility. It reflects on the elasticity of the body, the scars of landscape, and the gestures of repair—rendering sustainability as both ecological and emotional labor.
Frooman is a recipient of the 2024 Meyer Family Award for Contemporary Art. Her work has been exhibited at Main Line Art Center, A Space Gallery, Abington Art Center, and Bushwick Gallery’s Echoes of the Earth. In fall 2025, she will begin her MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London.
