Material Conversations: Paper, Fiber, Surface

Material Conversations: Paper, Fiber, Surface Material Conversations invites work that explores the expressive possibilities and relationships of paper, fiber, print, surface, and assemblage. Through papermaking, printmaking, weaving, stitching, folding, layering, binding, assemblage, sculptural construction, and other paper- and fiber-based processes, artists transform individual materials into works shaped by connection, repetition, texture, and form.
