Presented by the Surface Design Association​: "Join us as we explore fiber art’s ability to translate and transmutate through research processes. Textile designer and academic, Anne McInnis creates work highlighting the power of inter-generational collaboration in the fashion industry. Bridging the gap between new technologies and lived, professional experience, her work strives to dismantle assumptions around materiality as well as societal impressions of age, appearance, and abilities. Josie Rodriguez and David Steele joined forces to create a physical manifestation of music and translate sound to woven object."

More from the Surface Design Association (SDA):

"Their research allows their audiences to not only listen to music but to physically see and touch it, creating new layers of meaning. Unlimited by sociological or material labels, both presentations highlight the connection between the human hand and technology while highlighting the expansive ways fiber is utilized in academic research.​"
