About

The ancient expression “warp and weft” refers to the threads that run lengthwise and crosswise in a woven fabric. As with many textiles terms, the expression is also used metaphorically: warp and weft is the underlying structure upon which something is built. In our September exhibition Warp and Weft, we are presenting a group of artists — some from our history and some new to the program — whose practices consider the underlying structures and how to build upon them.

Weaving is the opposite of dividing, labeling, and marginalizing. It starts with the assumption that every thread, every piece of yarn or wicker, is necessary for the creation and integrity of the whole. Pull one thread out, and the construction will begin to unravel. The artists in this exhibition do not all use weaving in their work, but their projects show a dedication to crafting multifaceted structures that are gestalt in nature.
