We connect with our past in a variety of ways. One of those traditional ways has been to cut apart threadbare clothing, blankets, pillows, and curtains and re-shape them into something new — in effect, wearing and/or wrapping ourselves in our own families’ past.
More recently, those who work with fibre: paper, cloth, or wood, have shaped new items as representations of their connection to a past memory or to ephemera of a life lived — moments from a vacation, or an impression of an experience.
We invited textile artists to submit a work of any size for this juried exhibition.
Come and see their beautiful work at the Exhibit Opening on July 24th, or anytime afterwards until August 16th.
