imperfecting: a PTXM exhibition
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
This show, featuring fiber artworks by women artists from the US, Mexico, and Italy, is part of Portland Textile Month (PTXM), a month-long festival created to build community and foster cross-pollination among textile enthusiasts, artists, businesses, schools, and cultural organizations. In a world where AI and the myth of endless perfection abound, this exhibit brings to the forefront the notion that endless, beautiful imperfections are legacies to honor, cherish and preserve. One thread at a time, this show shares with viewers the complex fragility and relentless strength of humanity — a humanity that thrives on imperfect choices and the ability to learn and recover when choices prove to be mistakes. After all, these imperfections propelled previously unimaginable transformations, beauty and opportunities that are now indelible parts of the collective reality.
