Threads: Interweaving Textu[r]al Meaning
Alexander Campos, Lois Morrison
This year’s Artist Members Exhibition brings together current members of the Center’s artistic community and invited artists who use actual thread as a design element to convey both content and form. Artworks featured in this exhibition represent a broad range of book and related arts, including prints, books, sculptures, and multi-media installation.
