World of Threads Festival
THREADSpace: Threading the 3rd. Dimension
2012 Exhibition: Opening
The Sculptors Society of Canada is an organization of Canadian sculptors that promotes and fosters Canadian sculpture. This exhibition is an equitable sharing of space between artists who submitted to the Common Thread International call for submission and SSC members (most of whom do not normally work in fibre). When selecting pieces, all work had to be sculpture, had to be created by fibre/thread processing and/or materials, and had to be well designed, expertly executed, and speak beyond its fabrication. As it happens, the exhibition will be completely feminist. It will showcase an equal sharing of totally abstract and figurative approaches with a smattering of pop.
