Play at the Textile Arts Center

 In Archives

I crocheted a sculpture and it was selected for Play, a group show at the Textile Arts Center.  The opening is tonight in Brooklyn and  I am so excited because it is my first art show! Also, I will be teaching a workshop on sculptural crochet on June 12th as part of a day of fiber workshops……all the details below.

Play

May 13-June 24, 2011
Opening: Friday, May 13, 7-9pm

Play– fun or jest…a game? a toy? a bully? a tease? a hair pull? a game of tag? a snowball fight? a kick or a pinch?

Play is an experience we all know- one that can bring us laughter and perhaps at times bring us tears. The dualities that exist within play are what make it a rich subject for the 2011 spring exhibit at the Textile Arts Center.

Most everyone has happily played on the playground but also been left out, made fun of, and teased. Through the exhibit this complexity within play is revealed. In addition to the thematic thread of the exhibit, we also celebrate the extensive risks and playfulness that emerging fiber artists are exploring in their medium and techniques.
