California Fibers: Defined
California Fibers: Defined opens at the Merced Multicultural Arts Center in Merced, California with a reception on November 29.
California Fibers; Defined features the work of 15 members of California Fibers, and was juried by Arline Fisch. "The range of work ... is extraordinary," says Fisch, from beautifully executed traditional tapestries to innovative baskets to free hanging sculptural forms and viewer interactive installations. Equally exciting is the experimental focus of some of the work with artists using digital imagery and complex combinations of techniques to expand their work in new directions."
