Dernier Cri announces Interwoven: Everything Touches Everything Else, a group exhibition exploring the unseen threads that bind material, maker, and the natural world. The exhibition opens to the public on Thursday, May 7th, and will be on view through Friday, June 12th.
Interwoven considers the ways in which all things are connected-material to maker, object to environment, past to present. Across disciplines, the works in this exhibition reveal a shared language of transformation, where raw elements are shaped, layered, and brought into relation with one another. Threads-both literal and conceptual-run throughout, binding disparate forms into a cohesive whole. At a moment when our relationship to the natural world feels increasingly fragile, the works offer a reflection on interdependence. Everything touches everything else.
Works on view include wall sculptures by Vanessa Barragão, composed of recycled wool and synthetic fibers; a woven sculpture from Windy Chien's Crowns series, in which knotted, ribbon-like cordage forms a crisp, squared column that can be hand-manipulated to shift and settle into evocative shapes; works from Jonsara Ruth's Furniture Renovations series, where discarded iconic pieces are reimagined in conversation with their original makers; assemblages by Jay Sylvester, woven from bittersweet, honeysuckle, and wisteria vines with bamboo and found materials; and works by textile designer and weaver Suzanne Tick, including pieces from her Mylar Balloons and Woven Wire Hangers series.
