Influence and Evolution: Fiber Sculpture...then and now

browngrotta arts, Wilton, Connecticut

27.10.2015

Last November I was thrilled to receive an invitation to exhibit with browngrotta arts in Connecticut. Influence and Evolution: Fiber Sculpture...then and now, took place in their gallery/home earlier this year and now returns to SOFA, Chicago, from the 5-8th November. browngrotta will be reprising a variation of their exhibition which features work by pioneers of the fiber art movement of the 1960s and 70s, including Sheila Hicks, Ed Rossbach and Magdalena Abakanowicz, alongside works by artists born after 1965. I have long admired these experimental artists whose works are so pivotal to the development and evolution of basketry and fibre art. Rebelling against traditional techniques and forms, their influence has been felt for decades. By pairing works together, this exhibition explores the impact and influence these leading practitioners have had on later generations of artists, including myself, who approach form, methods and materials with a similar sense of exploration.
