Event Description
Fiber art is deeply rooted in the history of North Carolina and Traces presents a more contemporary approach to the craft. The exhibitionoffers a unique contextual showcase: a synthesis of creative and tangible raw materials, as well as a convergence of revolutionary technology, materials advances and subject matter. Curated by Barbara Lee Smith, 12 artists from across the US, Canada and The Netherlands deliver a fresh vision that unites the conceptual approach of fine art –guided by a geographical narrative – with the technical and material concerns of the craft tradition. These artists look for traces everywhere; observing, reflecting, and, in reacting, leave their own visual traces. Some trace a trail of journeys or maps, describing place, time and feeling. Others trace our impact on the world around us, an interplay of negative and positive effects on the land. The combined works form a tracery – a mesh or grid – of ideas, materials and technical innovation to engage and challenge viewers to a broader definition of art and place. |
