Josh Faught (born 1979), is an American fiber artist and educator, who creates sculptures, textiles, collages, and paintings.[1] His work incorporates techniques such as knitting, crochet, and weaving, and addresses topics of craft and queer history. His fiber sculptures, influenced by both domestic crafts and art styles such as abstract and color field painting, are often either hung on the wall or stretched over scaffolding such as garden trellises; they are three-dimensional but forward-oriented.[2] He is San Francisco based.
