Branching Out
featuring Surface Art Association
November 12, 2016 through December 4, 2016

The SAA includes local artists who work in a variety of media with a primary focus on the creative use, alteration and embellishment of fiber and textile surfaces. Such processes include weaving, painting on fiber and textile surfaces, sculpture, and mixed media. Artists featured in the exhibition: Mia Bloom, Celeste Covas, Maureen Cox, Cicely Gilman, Guila Greer, Leone Keegan, Smadar Knobler, Trish Lange, Dassi Pintar, Mary Beth Schwartzenberger, Diana Shore, Sandra Sigal, Linda Stone, Earllene Weiss, and Barbara Weitekamp.

Branching Out is inspired by the SAA theme challenge for 2016. The themed challenge encourages SAA artists to interpret and express each year’s theme in their own way. As a result, there is a variety of imagery in the exhibition, including subjects of nature, interpersonal connections, creative exploration and innovation, personal growth, and family journey. Many of the artists used cloth, paper, plastic, metal, and repurposed material to create their work.

About Surface Art Association

Surface Art Association (SAA) is a Southern California-based group that began in 2005, when a group of silk artists decided to expand the membership to include all types of fiber artists. Our organization is open to anyone with a passion for fiber art. We strive to inspire creativity and encourage innovation to further the rich traditions of textile and surface art.
