Curated by Susan Aaron-Taylor, Fiber on the Edge: Beyond the Decorative invites viewers into a dynamic field where material, process, and concept converge to redefine the language of fiber. This exhibition brings together artists who challenge the conventional boundaries of textile practice, transforming thread, cloth, and unconventional fibers into artworks of inquiry and innovation. This exhibition celebrates not only craftsmanship, but the bold vision of artists who push fiber to it’s limits.

The works on view embrace experimentation, interweaving alternative materials, sculptural forms, and immersive installations that extend far past the wall. Traditional techniques are not abandoned, but rather stretched, disrupted, and re-imagined, grounding each piece in the rich lineage of fiber arts while propelling it into new conceptual terrain.

At its core, Fiber on the Edge is a dialogue between hand and idea, structure and meaning. Together, these works challenge perception, provoke thought, and assert fiber as a powerful medium for contemporary expression.
