NOTICE: Beginning in 2024, the Museum will no longer accept entries that the artist has paid to have professionally quilted. The quilting is a core element of the artist’s design and skill and, as such, should be performed by the artist or, if a group entry, by at least one of the artists.

2023 Winners
Best of Show
and 1st Place in Fiber Arts - Handwoven category Spinners II by Gabriela Nirino, Seattle, WA The image of this piece belong to a textile worker from the 40's. It is about being proud of a job well done and about a time when that meant something. In the original photo she is working with jute. The "alpargata" is a traditional shoe, made in cotton canvas with a jute sole. I replaced the jute with wool, an emblematic raw material. It is blue, the color of our flag. The background is an old traditional motif in textiles made by hand by women on family looms. Hand woven on computer-controlled Jacquard loom. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OUR WINNERS! |
