Today, I treated myself to a visit to the Muskegon Art Museum to see the Extreme Fiber Exhibit. I truly appreciate this museum and their support of fiber art. There was a wide variety of pieces in the show... again something I found appealing. While I am still caught looking for "beauty" or good use of design principles, however there were a few conceptual pieces that I though were meaningful. My favorite pieces was a hand-dyed piece of silk...the amount of detail and constancy of shape and line throughout the design was amazing (as was the use of color). Here are some pictures:
 Stones and Zinnia by Anna Chupa (acid dye on Habotai silk) |  Stone Curtain by Laura Foster Nicholson, wool with cotton |
 Constellation-Mana by Kumi Yamashita, wood panel, galvanized brads and single black sewing thread |  Silence: Seeking Solitude #5 by Nancy Crow, machine pieced |
 Medusa's Collar by Ferne Jacobs, coiled waxed linen thread  Partial Floor Plan of a World War II by Rachel Brumer, fiber on board |  Flock by Pamela DeTuncq, wool  side view of Partial Floor Plan of a World War II |
