Explore the blurred lines between everyday objects and artistic expression with a focus on fiber and textile art. In this rebellion against the distinction between Craft and Art, we invite you to experience the surprising and delightful diversity of these works, and marvel at the skill, the intuition, the knowledge and wisdom behind making. These fiber artists each create, in their own ways, something new from raw or recycled materials, intuitively and humanely imbuing them with beauty and authenticity.

Photo Embroidery for Chiharu Shiota Exhibit

Featuring works from throughout Shiota’s career spanning installation, sculpture, video, drawing, and stage design, the exhibition offers a timely meditation on belonging, impermanence, and living with “in-betweenness.”
The Asian Art Museum will be hosting me for this workshop as part of their public programs in alignment with Shiota’s exhibition. We’ll be working in the multimedia art of photo embroidery.
