SQUARE: Eighty-two members of the Textile Study Group of New York present work created on 12-inch square panels of wood.
“In some cases the panel is incorporated into the work itself, and in some cases it was used as a background, and in others a thread was wrapped around the panel,” says Marilyn Henrion, co-curator of an exhibit of their work. “It was used in every conceivable way.”
Many of the pieces express formal qualities inherent in weaving, knitting, stitching, knotting, and manipulation of fabric. Others incorporate drawing, printing, collage, and techniques not specific to textiles. Much of the work is abstract, relying on color, texture, and pattern to communicate, but figurative, architectural, and natural images also offer content ranging from personal narratives to commentary on timely issues.
SQUARE opens on Jan. 16 in the Narthex Gallery in St. Peter’s Church, 619 Lexington Avenue at E. 54th Street, and closes March 8. Reception, Jan. 17, from 3 to 6. The full-color catalogue is available through Amazon.
