EXHIBITIONISTA: “FIBER” at Silvermine Arts Center
I am thrilled to participate in FIBER:
This international exhibition seeks to showcase the best of contemporary fiber art that reflect the breadth of functional or non-functional works that use fiber and/or fiber art techniques in traditional or innovative ways. Artwork in this exhibition may be made from natural or high tech materials that reference fiber and that blur the lines between art, architecture and craft. Please join us in the galleries on Saturday, June 7 for a captivating talk with Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown.Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown
