May 8, 2008

The May program is a field trip to the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. The exhibit, "Core Memory/Peripheral Visions," demonstrates how eight contemporary artists working with digital Jacquard weaving techniques have harnessed technology to create visually-compelling and emotionally-moving works. Both textured and tactile, these works explore a range of themes from personal and political statements to abstraction and the grand beauty of nature.

The exhibit fits nicely with the theme of our Area 1: Computer Aided Design in Weaving booth at CINCH08.
