As a part of NYTM this year, I’m pleased to take part in Fiber in Focus, a three-day open studio event at TI Art Studios @tiartstudios dedicated to textile and fiber art that gives a unique perspective into the process, material exploration and the sacred space of six textile artists:

Natale Adgnot @natale_adgnot is a sculptor who uses mixed media, including fabrics, horsehair, and thermoplastics, to create fiber and textile sculptures.

Nicholas Cueva’s @gneissyoungman work is a multifaceted exploration of fabrics in the context of visual information and compression, expanding on the texture and pattern of different weaves.

Sandra Giunta, @sangiunta inspired by the natural world, creates felted and stitched sculptural pieces with wool and other natural fibers to highlight interconnectedness and biiophilia.

Kathie Halfin @eclectic_body weaves sustainable materials such as sisal, flax, and hand-spun paper to create tactile sculptures rooted in weaving and basket-making traditions.

Elise Putnam @putnamelise draws on fabric using crayon, dye, collage, appliqué, and embroidery to create exaggerated self-portraits that reflect familiar characterizations of women, such as fairy tale characters and art historical figures.

Melissa Zexter @melissazexter combines traditional embroidery skills with photography, sewing directly onto her unique photographs. Through her manipulation of the image’s surface, the photographs become unique, non-reproducible objects
