SMFA B.A.G. Gallery
"Slivers" showcases three students, each with a primary focus in fiber-based arts. The opportunity to exhibit this range of works on a large scale allows work in fibers at SMFA to be shown in a way that might not otherwise be represented in such a scope, showcasing only a portion of work being produced at the School in such mediums. Conceptually, the work is linked by a common thread—constructing identity by means of bodily extension, manifested as external objects, handmade and consumer products. These act to inform a concept of the self through memory, adornment and the telling of a story
Produced and curated by Max Colby
