Thread. Works of Art & Design Made Primarily Using Fiber-Based Materials or Processes
A thread is a kind of line. A thread is a line with a function; a thread binds, wraps, it ties. When multiplied and twisted together it becomes an object with strength, one that can offer warmth like a blanket or catch the air like a sail. Thread can be turned into an object that is soft and comforting, and it can be woven or wrapped into one offering structure, protection, and even fire resistance.
All manner of metals, plant matter, and plastics can be pulled or spun into string. Just like a mark, or a line, a thread is a unit of construction.
THREAD was offered as a competitive call for any work of art or design that connects, binds, winds, warms, strengthens, ensnares, and unites. Submissions were open to non-traditional sewing/stitching materials, as well as fiber-based processes that are surprising and unexpected.
