Fiber Art

After my trip to SCAD's Little Black Dress exhibit I visited their neighboring exhibit on fiber art, a medium that I think is highly under-rated in the fine art community. The amount of work that is put into these pieces is mind blowing. When I was in high school I spent two years learning how to sew and to say the least there's a reason why I'm not interested in being a designer or seamstress of any sort.

Although I know that many of you may look at this and think this is the type of bullshit art that get's famous and doesn't deserve it but I actually think that the title of this piece with it's irony and tongue-in-cheek humor makes it successful.

All four of these pieces are made with the same colors of threads, each canvas focuses on one of the colors.
