Historically, textiles have been a part of what moves cultures forward: Innovations like spinning fibers together to create thread have been instrumental in survival from the beginning of human existence.
Cultures around the world have used textiles as currency, to show wealth and power, and as an everyday tool.
In today’s world, we may take for granted the impact textiles have had on every aspect of our lives but there is a resurgence of textile art that is honoring this history.
The artwork in 'Labor of Life: Textiles + Fiber' showcases the diverse techniques that encompass the world of textiles.
