Exhibitionista: TRICKSTERS & TRANSFORMATION at the Helms Design Center
Helms Design Center 8745 Washington Blvd. Studio E, Culver City, CA, United States"Textiles have the universally demonstrated capacity for holding meaning, establishing connections, and creating healing. As we emerge, on many levels, from the darkness into the light of awareness of isolation and injustice we have an opportunity and obligation to examine the status quo. This exhibition will allow the artist to step into the now and make work that opens doors within themselves, thereby acting as a portal to a collective resurgence into a renewed relationship with the world. This awakening inspires transformation.
There is a deep potential for the artist to act as trickster, agent of change, or boundary crosser. After the pandemic and the social upheaval of the past eighteen months, the artist has gained renewed agency for creating more enlightened definitions of meaning and new ways of seeing.
The pandemic can be a portal, serving as a provocation to transformation."

EXHIBITIONISTA: “Alternative Fiber”
Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts 511 Ave K, Lubbock, TX, United StatesIn celebration of alternative uses of fiber and textile material, The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts (LHUCA) is proud to present: Alternative Fiber: A National Juried Exhibition. In recent years the use of fiber and textile has greatly expanded creating art that no longer easily fits into the category of craft. New art has been constructed utilizing these materials in both sculptural, two dimensional, and even installation practice. LHUCA’s exhibition will focus on these ideas as we aim to create a juried art show highlighting the many alternative ideas present in these mediums.
