This week, my guest is hand weaver and textile designer Mathieu Le Traon. Mathieu discovered hand weaving only a few years ago, but he quickly fell in love with it, and decided to quit his prestigious career to pursue his artistry full-time. Mathieu’s work is extraordinary, not only because it’s beautiful, which it unequivocably is, but because he uses it as a means of storytelling, embedding codes, music, language and literature into his work. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, hand woven from the animal fibers that he loves, which add another important, thoughtful element to his work. Mathieu’s work is as creative as his mind, extending from scarves to vests to wall art, furniture, eyeglasses, and beyond.

About Us
Who will be the world's next Salvador Dali, Thierry Mugler, or Josephine Baker, launching a new wave of the avant-garde? How are new artforms created, developed, honed? And where exactly do today's artists and creatives find their inspirations?

Each week, join City of Muses host Jennifer Geraghty as she sits down with contemporary artists, poets, dancers, designers, and performers to explore what inspires them, what their creative processes are like, where their ideas come from, and how Paris has helped or hindered their dreams come true.

Inspiration and creativity meet in Paris, the City of Muses.
