Artist Profile: Persephone Bennett

Overview:
Persephone Bennett is a textile artist and fashion designer based in Brooklyn, originally from the New Hampshire/Maine region. A graduate of RISD with a focus on Apparel Design and Ancient World Cultures, her work blends zero-waste practices with confessional storytelling through textiles. Working with deadstock and discarded materials, she transforms instinctive emotion into wearable and sculptural forms. Her garments serve as intimate reflections—externalized journals of mood and process. With exhibitions spanning New York Fashion Week to European galleries, Bennett now looks to deepen her connection to the Bushwick art scene while developing coded systems to translate her intuitive methods into generative textile design.
