“Fiber Optics” is a comprehensive group exhibition of 42 emerging artists that exemplify fresh, innovative approaches to “fiber art.” The artists selected have reinvented traditional craft processes such as embroidery, crochet, knitting, weaving, sewing, and quilting. Rather than follow prescribed methods, they merge traditional craft with sculpture, installation, and video art; and utilize unexpected materials that transcend their banal origins with integral symbolism. Though the approaches are unconventional, technique, precision, and aesthetic appeal are still at the core of their processes. Fiber Optics includes regional, national, and international artists: Amy Gross Andrea Huffman Aurora Molina Belaxis Buil Bobbi Meier Carlos Alejandro John and Caroline Collette Clara Varas Dina Knapp Doerte Weber Eurydice Kamviselli Erin Minckley Chlaghmo Georgeta Fondos Gina Denton Jee Park Jennifer Pettus Jerry Bleem Jesse Harrod Kaleb Magnos Karelle Levy Karina Pais Kate Kretz Kathryn Shinko Kelly Boehmer Kevin Curry Kristina Thalin Laz Ojalde (LMNOQ) Leslie Pontz Martin Casuso Maya Schonenberger Melissa Bush Michael Sylvan Robinson Regina Jestrow Roxana Josefina Martinez Sasha de Koninck Selina Roman Shawna Munro Shea Wilkinson Tasha Lewis Tod Hensley GALLERY & JUROR INFO: 1310 Gallery, a recent winner of New Times magazine “Best Gallery 2013/Editorial choice,” offers a unique 3000 square foot exhibition space, split into 3 levels.
