'It Is Beautiful Here' Opens in Finland

So very exciting that my recycled textile fiber forms are featured in an international exhibit that opens to the public today in Fiskars, Finland. Although I was not in attendance for the gala opening and press preview of 'It Is Beautiful Here' last night, I do intend to travel to Fiskars with my family this summer to soak in and document the exhibit in person.

Fiskars is an amazing historic village that has a lasting tradition of supporting artisans and craftspersons. I want to extend a special thank you to the curators and organizers of this exhibition, as they have been incredibly lovely to work with. Next up, an exhibition on 'knitting, knotting, and netting' at the Hunterdon Museum of Art this October. What a great year for fiber exploration and travel thus far.
