Threads showcases work from the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts Foundation Collection by contemporary artists who sew or incorporate various fibers into their drawings, photographs, and sculptures.
Using natural and synthetic threads in both traditional and non-traditional ways, they experiment and metaphorically speak of the lines, networks, and webs that link people together.
Working in innovative ways, artists such as Maysey Craddock, Howardena Pindell, Anna Torma, and Ursula von Rydinsgvard, among others, collapse the hierarchies between fine art and craft.
Anna Torma (Tarnaörs, Hungary, 1952 - ), Lux Garden I, 2006, appliqué and reverse appliqué on linen, 35 x 34 3/4 in., Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts Foundation Collection: Purchase, Eleanor Herstein Wolff Fiber Arts Fund.
