New
work by 17 artist members of California Fibers debuts on August 11th
with a reception from 5:00-7:00 p.m. for
Tracing the Steps: The Diversity of Fiber.
California Fibers was established in 1970 to support the artistic growth and
professional advancement for contemporary fiber artists based in southern
California. Members of California Fibers are juried by their peers for
acceptance into the organization. Many members have an international exhibition
history and are on the faculty at universities throughout California. The
exhibition runs through October 7, 2012.
Tracing the Steps: The Diversity of Fiber was juried by Dale Carolyn Gluckman who
distinguished herself at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as the former
curator for costumes and textiles. “The important criteria for me as a juror,”
said Gluckman, “was outstanding craftsmanship, clarity of vision, demonstration
of a thorough knowledge of materials and techniques, and work that was
innovative and inventive. My hope is that the rich, multi-layered works of art
in this exhibition provoke ideas and sensations, challenge emotions and
creativity, and expand the boundaries of conventional ideas of fiber.”
In
addition to the work in the exhibition, the artists have created storyboards
that describe one of their works in the exhibition. This educational component
is a new feature at Visions Art Museum that will deepen the experience of
individual works. More:http://www.quiltvisions.org
