LA Designer: Jennifer Parry Dodge

In early June KCRW DJ (Design Journalist) Alissa Walker attended CAMP, a business conference for creatives held at a summer camp in Big Bear, California. Alissa met Jennifer at her at her studio in Highland Park – layered with the bright colors and psychedelic textures of both completed pieces and works-in-progress – and talked to her about what inspires her, her detour into nursing, and the “wabi sabi” effects of using natural indigo dye, made from a plant that produces those brilliant blues, cochineal, a dye made from insects who feast on prickly pear fruits, resulting in a dazzling pink color.
