Curatorial Statement: Annmarie Suglio
“Convergence” is an exhibition providing a meeting place for fiber, textile, and paper works created by current students and alumni of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The artists included in this exhibition explore themes of materiality, the passage of time, and sense of self. To convey these timeless themes, selected innovative works employ traditional textile or fiber art techniques, such as hand weaving, sewing, embroidery, felting, and papermaking to address these concerns through a contemporary lens. “Convergence” brings together celebrated artists of diverse backgrounds and areas of study from Madison's community.
The TAC/UW Exhibition, Convergence, features work by the following artists: Hannah Bennett, Autumn Brown, Danielle Burke, Ian Danner, Kate Flake, Kate Goodvin Nika McKagen, Mariah Moneda, Jackelin Espinosa Moyoti, Cate O’Connell-Richards, Maia Rauh, Noa Rickey, Roberto Torres Mata, Lars Shimabukuro, Eli Song, Carolyn Spears, Kelsey Vickman
