Jasper Moon is a Minnesota and Oregon based textile artist. He attended University of Oregon for his BFA in fiber arts and is an active community member within gallery spaces and community education.

His current practice revolves around the idea of queer communities: their human imperfections and how either their abundance or absence affects the body. He uses tapestry weaving techniques to create vibrant dancing figures that represent the vast joy queer communities create. He also utilizes a loose hand to weave in order to create interesting mistakes within weave structures, and plays off these mistakes to evolve each piece. His work is deeply reliant on the human mark, embracing human mistake as a form of complex beauty. 

His work also has a particular interest in tapestry imagery throughout time and what it means to recognize queer history. His work draws on medieval and prehistoric imagery to envision modern queer space within a broader context of time.

His tapestries become visual manifestations of how much joy can come from community, and hopes that through teaching and community engagement he can help sustain an actualized reality of this.
