The Design Studies MFA program has consistently drawn artists and designers working within the expansive area of Fiber and Material Studies. With mentorship from Professor Mary Hark, the following artists bring a textile sensibility to hand papermaking within their practice, through their rising professional and graduate school experience. Additionally, several artists represented have been contributors to our program. The works in this exhibition consider ways in which handmade paper is both a traditional and experimental textile medium for interdisciplinary exploration.
