Jim Drain is an artist who mostly works with textiles but is definitely not limited to any medium. His work in film and music is worth checking out. He currently teaches at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. He went to school there, where he was a large part of the Fort Thunder and Forcefield Collectives. They were featured in the Whitney Biennial in 2002. I met him when he lived in Miami. He was a founder of the Bas Fisher Invitational. His textiles have been worn by the likes of Bjork, Erase Errata, and many others. His work has been shown all over the world. He is a generous force in an art world that isn’t always blessed with generous forces.
