Fiberart International 2007
through June 22
Fiberart International 2007 features the work of 73 nationally and internationally renowned contemporary fiber artists and highlights a diverse cross-section of works in the fiber medium. Juror Naomi Kobayashi, an internationally recognized fiber artist from Japan, writes, “The entries represented a wide variety of techniques: textiles using up-to-date computer and jacquard weaving, conventional hand woven pieces, submissions using silkscreen, shibori or patterned dyeing techniques, sewn works, knitted works, embroidered, constructed, hand corded, felted and pieced works.” Juror Dorothy Cadwell, a internationally acclaimed Canadian fiber artist writes, “The jury looked for work with a strong basis, a developed vocabulary and a depth of character. I was delighted to discover work that was subtle, elegant and restrained as well as work full of humor, tongue-in-cheek wit and offbeat ideas. The exhibition was organized by the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh.
