Dernier Cri presents Interwoven: Everything Touches Everything Else, a group exhibition exploring the unseen threads that bind material, maker, and the natural world. The exhibition is on view now.
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.
