Thread, Pattern, Form: Work by Iowa Surface Design Association Artists
Kamerick Art Gallery, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa
August 21 - September 22, 2023
Textile and fiber art represent the array of works included in the exhibit Thread, Pattern, Form: Work by Iowa Surface Design Association Artists at the University of Northern Iowa's Kamerick Art Building, August 21 - September 22, 2023.
Isabel Barbuzza, Professor of Sculpture at the The University of Iowa School of Art and Art History served as the juror, selecting 51 works by 17 artists. She notes: “The artists have chosen to create works where scale, color, materials, patterns, and techniques are beautiful, unique, and challenging. Materials and techniques range from wool, plastic, ceramics with intertwined fibers, hand-painted cotton, wood construction, natural dyes, weavings, or sewn pieces. This exhibit's breadth and diversity of works make this show unique, dynamic, and visually strong.”
Participating artists are include Ange Altenhofen, Judy Bales, Jenna Bonistalli, Astrid Hilger Bennett, Jocelyn Châteauvert, Tibi Chelcea, Jan Friedman, Annie Hall, Deb Koesters, Abigail Livengood, Teresa Paschke, Catherine Reinhart, Lindi Roe, Rowen Schussheim-Anderson, Olivia Valentine, Joan Webster-Vore, and Deborah Zeitler.
