 A Sense of Place

The Art Alliance will serve as a major site of FiberPhiladelphia, presenting “A Sense of Place,” curated by Bruce Hoffman. Hoffman, a former Director of Snyderman-Works Gallery, explores the theme of location understood as both a physical space and as a site in memory and experience.

Eight women textile artists are represented, each hailing from a different technical and aesthetic tradition in fiber: Bhakti Ziek, Barbara Lee Smith, Wendeanne Ke'aka Stitt, Amy Orr, Ke-Sook Lee, Pat Hickman, Marcia Docter, and Marian Bejlinga.
