Textile structure is expressive and physical. The connections between surface, form, material and meaning create a rich terrain to explore.
Students in Fiber create work that involves installation, performance, video, construction and other cross-disciplinary approaches that move between 2D and 3D thinking. Coursework introduces the ancient alongside inventive, innovative and improvised approaches. A range of textile processes including approaches to color, structure, and materiality constitute the curriculum. Fiber is inherently cross-disciplinary. The Fiber department is active with students from across the school sharing studios, tools, labs and ideas to investigate meaning through making.
