MORAL FIBRES: Textiles from The Nickle Collections
Until September 27, 2008 at The Nickle Arts Museum
Curated by Michele Hardy

Cloth is uniquely associated with life and the expression of intimate and shared values. Drawing on works from the Nickle’s collections, Moral Fibres explores the symbolic and tactile potential of cloth to express goodness, appropriateness, or morality. The exhibition features ethnographic works as well as works by the artists: Dominique Blain, Suzanne Franks, Bill Morten, and Alan Dunning
