About Fabulous Fiber:
Fabulous Fiber brings together artists working in various materials which all fall under the banner of Fiber Arts. Whether woven, quilted, embroidered or felted, the works of art vary from 3 dimensional sculptures to large and small scale wall pieces to wearable art. Oozing with texture and color, these age old techniques give way to a new life as contemporary artworks.
“I wanted to work with artists I had never worked with who work in mediums I hadn’t explored before in my curation. I’ve had a strong attraction to textile and fiber artworks over the years, partially because I like the textures but also because the work makes me feel involved in it. Almost like I am a part of it. Something about knowing the feeling of the fibers on their own and how those feelings relate to emotions. Fiber art has a way to make you feel connected to the work on a sensory level.”
Kate Stern, Curator.
