TWINE Exhibit

TWINE is a professional organization made up of over 40 contemporary tapestry weavers. It’s an inclusive group open to all levels of experience. Often times when we talk about tapestry weaving the first image that comes to mind is a medieval weaving with unicorns, hanging on a castle wall. We want to dispel this thinking and treat the viewer to contemporary body of work using the same techniques of weavers from the past. The design process for making a tapestry takes quite a bit of planning and each artist has their own approach, using collage, painting, geometric patterns and original imagery. Included in the exhibit will be a number of cartoons (designs by a number of weavers) in tandem with their tapestries. We see cartoons as maps behind a nished tapestry and interesting art pieces on their own. Our goal is to inspire and expand ones thinking of what a tapestry is.
