Material Flux — Selections Exhibition Fall 2024

THEME

Material Flux, SDA’s Fall 2024’s Selections exhibition, explores the transformative potential inherent in fiber and textile art by focusing on the processes of deconstruction and reconstruction. This exhibition includes works that manipulate existing fiber-based material (both 2 and 3-dimensional) into new works of art and/or reimagines textile as a medium. Artworks highlight the act of breaking down and how rebuilding can breathe new life into materials, telling fresh stories through their evolved forms.
