Talk & Exhibition
Crossroads: Textile Intersections presents intricate hands-on textile work that examines age-old techniques reinterpreted in a modern format by three highly individual artists who manipulate fiber. The exhibition looks at their current visions of both art for the wall and for the body.
Ana Lisa Hedstrom (San Francisco) creates abstract and geometric patterns developed from the concepts of Japanese Shibori. Her signature art textiles are included in the collections of the Cooper Hewitt, The DeYoung Museum, The Museum of Craft and Design among others.
Jorie Johnson (Kyoto) designs and produces unique handmade woolen felt creations using her own innovative expressions of the 8,000-year-old central-Asian technique of feltmaking. She exhibits her contemporary feltworks in galleries, shops, and museums around the world.
Mary Jaeger (New York City) designs a collection of innovative hand-dyed stitch resist textiles conscious of sustainability, eco-friendly techniques and couture sewing. Her one-of-a-kind collections are available at her Brooklyn atelier, juried trade shows, galleries and fine shops worldwide.
The Artist Talks will start at 3 PM!
