Born in the Philippines and raised in the Bronx, Reynan Punzalan creates weavings that combine the handicrafts of native artisans from around the world with a bold fashion sensibility.  He incorporates both common and non-traditional materials which bring an element of surprise and discovery while experimenting with unexpected color combinations which resonate.  These juxtapositions of textures and colors result in exciting and dynamic compositions, transforming the domestic craft of weaving into fine art.
