.Radical Regeneration Exhibit at Museum of Quilts & Textiles

Jul 19, 2022

Years of lockdown, working from home and staring at the walls led many to some inspiring deep-pandemic yarn arts. This blurb-writer took up crocheting lopsided mini-dinosaurs, but the professional textile artists on display in Radical Regeneration reached for the political and the sublime. This group exhibition features pieces that reflect on the changes—spiritual and physical—born of the last two years, reflecting the theme of “renewal, repair and revitalization” as only art stitched and woven from the tiniest threads can.
