Synopsis

The exhibition Square, presenting 82 original artworks, opens a window onto current explorations by members of the Textile Study Group of New York. With just one restriction—that each piece be mounted on a 12-inch square wooden panel—the artists reached out in many directions to bring forth a diverse array of two- and three-dimensional expressions in fabric, thread, paper, wire, and some surprising materials that stretch the definition of “fiber art.” As with early works in the fiber art genre, which was identified as a contemporary art form in the 1960s, many pieces derive expression from formal qualities inherent in processes such as weaving, knitting, stitching, knotting, and manipulation of fabric. Other works incorporate drawing, printing, collage, and techniques not specific to textiles. Much of the work is abstract, relying on color, texture, and pattern to communicate, but figurative, architectural, and natural images offer content ranging from personal narratives to commentary on timely issues.
