Fiber Art is finally getting the attention it deserves in the local, national, and international art world. Pick up any art zine in print, online, or on social media and you will find images of art made with cloth, yarn, or thread; both new and recycled, and the myriad ways any of it can be manipulated...made by artists trained in textile arts as well as neophyte wannabes; artists who are skilled as well as unskilled; artists of all ages pushing the boundaries of what art is and how it can be created.
I am happy to have been making fiber art even before it became the burgeoning milieu it has become together with many fiber artists who have done the same. We have endurance and resilience.
This was a busy summer. I had work at Materia: Edition Pop Up "Fiber Art 2024" from June 22 - July 20, 2024 in Detroit's Core City neighborhood; at the Jordan River Art Center (JRAC) "With Every Fiber of My Being" from August 4 - 31, 2024 in East Jordan, MI; in the JRAC Member Show in East Jordan from September 8 - October 5, 2024.
