EXHIBITIONISTA: Handwork, The Material Intelligence of Touch

February 10 @ 8:00 am - March 19 @ 5:00 pm
FREE

As part of handwork 2026 logopresented by Craft in America,

Textile Arts LA presents Handwork, The Material Intelligence of Touch!

The exhibit brings together artists from Textile Arts LA whose work centers the hand as both method and metaphor. Inspired by artist Ann Hamilton’s concept of the “sewing hand”—the idea that making by hand is a way of knowing—we explore how tactile engagement with material connects body to mind, individual to community, and past to present.

I am delighted to participate with two works included:

Communion“, 2025, 10.5 x 21.5 x 8.5” (dimensions variable), wood, hemp/assorted cord, acrylic paint


La Forêt I“, 2024, 62 x 17 x 1”, canvas, acrylic paint, hemp/jute/cotton cord
