This exhibition weaves three artists together through their shared interests in textiles and the narrative qualities found in their works. Each artist’s practice involves working in mediums considered traditional modes of female creative production. Yet, they present refreshingly non-traditional themes, complex intentions, diverse materials and innovative methods. Fabric, stitches, warp, and weft reveal concerns both personal and universal, while exploring identity, social justice, relationships, and memory. Common Thread is curated by Marianne K. McGrath, M.A. art curator and consultant.
This event is free and open to the public.
In compliance to ADA/504, please direct your accommodation request to Mitch Grieb at mfgrieb@scu.edu at least 72 hours prior to the event.
