Connected by Stitch is a collection of fiber based artwork by Pennsylvania members of Studio Art Quilt Associates. The juried exhibition showcases a wide range of 2D and 3D fiber art, and highlights the diverse styles and techniques of a medium that prioritizes aesthetic value over utility. Fiber artists employ a variety of materials and processes from low to high tech to create beauty, provoke thought, resist convention, and challenge the status quo, thereby reshaping the viewer’s understanding of fiber art.
All the artists included in the exhibition are members of Studio Art Quilt Associates, an international non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the art quilt and fiber artists. SAQA mounts museum-quality exhibitions that travel the world. This show was juried by New Mexico mixed media artist Joshua Willis and curated by SAQA Pennsylvania Regional Representative Meredith Eachus Armstrong.
