woven
May 3 to 19, 2024
Bringing together the works of Zoë Joyall, Erin Mugford, jamie oosterhuis and lune grose, woven explores the ways textiles can engage with memory, place, connection and emotion. Utilizing a range of textile mediums, these works engage with traditional techniques and formal applications while exploring new interpretations and experimentations.
woven challenges the division of art and craft to discover what lies in their intersection. By doing so, these works demonstrate that conceptual and artistic expression are intrinsically woven into the practice of textile arts.

Gallery hours:
Continues every weekend from Saturday, May 4 until Sunday, May 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
