February 28 - March 14, 2020
Thread Count is a show dedicated to fabric art by five female Austin artists. The artists explore the limits and
possibilities of fabric art and batik working in their own compelling themes and styles. A common thread between
the artists’ work is the tension they feel navigating their own ‘traditional’ female roles in their art, lives, and the
art-world as a whole. Other themes that come forward in this self-organized and curated show are immigrant
identity, belonging, the exploration of cultural differences and expressions, the interweaving of community, the
human problem of the body as a cultural and biological entity and the trials of dealing with mental illness in the
American health care system.
New Works by Steef Crombach, Rakhee Jain Desai, Magdalena Jarkowiec, Melissa Knight and Sara Vanderbeek
