Intertwined
Saturday, November 2nd through Sunday, January 5th, the exhibition at projectART’s ARTSPACE location was open to the public Wednesday through Sunday during its run.
projectART Wimberley presented Intertwined, a group exhibition of regional artists that use fibers to create striking and thought-provoking works. From intricate weavings and large-scale sculptures to experimental garments and conceptual works, Intertwined invited visitors to explore the rich history and limitless possibilities of fiber art.
Curated by Jamie Pettit, projectART Board member, and Jules Buck Jones, ARTSPACE’s head curator, Intertwined featured works by artists Barbara Attwell, Heather Carter, Sam Elkins, Michael Anthony Garcia, Nam Joti, Angelica Raquel, Pearly Rihn, Kathy Utts, and Jade Walker.
Jamie Pettit reflected on the significance of fiber art, saying, “I was interested in the conversation about how fibers are everywhere in our lives and history, yet they are often overlooked or deemed in the art world more as a craft instead of fine art. I argue they are both – present in our surroundings, such as our clothing and homes, and as objects of art placed on shelves or hanging on walls. I especially loved finding artists pushing the idea of what fiber art can be, using vibrant colors and playful themes to grab your attention.”
Jules Buck Jones added, “It’s fun to curate shows around specific materials or processes. In this show, we looked for various artists who use fiber to make their work. This includes felting, variations on weaving, stitching, quilting, and more.”
