Fibers Professor Tina Linville Work Featured in The Small Works Juried Show

Congratulations to Fibers Professor Tina Linville on Being Selected to the Small Works Juried Show at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois.

One of her works, Welcome Bouquet 2023, is pictured here. 

Below text from the Exhibition:

"Welcome Bouquet, 2023

fiber, sticks, beads, concrete and varnish, 20.5” x 17” x 6"

Welcome Bouquet was built over a core of ritual objects created as tools to physically embody otherwise invisible hopes. Skin-like surfaces combine with textile construction processes that showcase human ingenuity to transform everyday materials into a densely crafted sculptural form.

Botanical yet bodily, this work operates to complicate any easy distinctions between instinct and intent, surface and form, art and craft, and being human within complex ecological diversity and interdependence. What is ordinary becomes mysterious and out of undervalued parts comes an indelible whole."
