I’m still in shock over winning 2nd place in Fiber Art Now’s Excellence in Fibers 2023… Pitch me please…
High Praise for Blackty Black Blanket
I’ve been tickled pink by the reception of Blackty Black Blanket has been getting.
It was selected to appear in Surface Design Journal’s Seventh Annual International Exhibition in Print: The Fusion of Fiber Arts, Fashion & Design is month.
And was also juried into Fiber Art Now’s eighth annual Excellence In Fibers exhibition.
Juror Kate Irvin, Curator and Department Head, Costume and Textiles at the Rhode Island School of Art Museum reviewed 1300 artworks and selected Blackty Black Blanket for the winter issue of Fiber Art Now to be released in January 2023. The work is also eligible for the onsite exhibition at San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, August 23, 2023 through January 4, 2024.
None of this would be possible without the stellar photos of my work by April Tracy. Thank you April for elevating my vision.
