A Common Thread
Textile Center of Minnesota July 26 – October 15, 2022 A Common Thread annual member exhibition is back for its 22nd year! Always a favorite, this exhibition showcased a fabulous array of fiber art created by Textile Center’s members! Each year, over a hundred artworks adorn the walls of Textile Center’s galleries (this year, more than 130!) in an exhibition that is as diverse in technique as it is prolific in scope. Techniques include stitching, quilting, knitting, crochet, sewing, weaving, dyeing, felting, needlework, hand construction, polymer clay, lacemaking, basketry, beading, sculpture, mixed media, and more. Jes is exhibiting "Peak" in this exhibit, a sculptural weaving made from leftover yarn purchased from the Textile Center's Garage Sale. (Image: Madonna and Child, Sean Paul Gallegos) |
