 t technologies for making connections. Long before it became a textile pro
 cess\, it was a way of understanding how separate parts could be brought t
 ogether to create strength\, beauty\, and belonging. The artists in this e
 xhibition are all exploring that idea\, asking how we build meaning throug
 h repetition\, accumulation\, structure\, and care. Whether working with c
 loth\, clay\, wood\, paper\, movement\, or metal\, each artist reminds us 
 that making is ultimately an act of connection."\nParticipating artists in
