Panel Discussion on Contemporary Explorations in Fiber Art
How are traditional textile techniques such as weaving, sewing, and lace making reimagined in contemporary art? How can artists incorporate these time honored methods to express personal narratives, political ideas, and experimental forms?
This panel brings together a diverse group of textile artists who incorporate traditional fiber techniques in innovative and unexpected ways. Through presentations of their studio practices, each artist will offer insight into how they fuse technique with concept, transforming methods into contemporary expressions. From handwoven structures to hybrid works that merge fiber with other materials, the panel will highlight how textile can be a powerful medium for pushing boundaries and storytelling.
Presenters will share both the conceptual frameworks behind their work and the technical processes that bring their pieces to life. The panel will conclude with a Q&A moderated by Elizabeth Tolson, inviting dialogue on the evolving role of textiles in contemporary art.
