Piece by Piece: Recent Work from Regional Fiber Artists
Stamelos Gallery Center
May. 16, 2025 - Aug. 18, 2024
Fiber is not only artistic in practicum, but holds a necessity in its utility in our lives. How can we learn from textiles to weave our communities more strongly? In a place like South East Michigan, where so many holes have been torn, reaching for a hand without the tools to stitch us back together – fiber art is helping piece together a vibrant community, reminding ourselves that we all hold vibrancy in our individuality. Piece by Piece explores what contemporary fiber making in the area looks like today, and where it will take us in the future. The exhibition features work by Yeager Edwards, Taylor Jenkins, Shaina Kasztelan, Bella Kiser, Kit Parks, Kayla Powers, Jessie Rice, Leslie Rogers, Katie Schulman, Melissa Webb, and Maggie Wiebe.
