The Eye and the Needle is an exhibit of fiber art work by Illinois and Wisconsin regional members of SAQA. (Studio Art Quilt Associates)
Theme: Since its invention, artists have long been intrigued with photography. Many artists from different media use their own photographic images as studies or inspiration for their work. The Eye and the Needle is an exhibit of fiber artworks created from the artist’s original photo, used as inspiration, in production, manipulation or in some other manner in the creation of the work. The artwork and photo will be hung in tandem for each artist. Artists may use another person’s original photo with permission and credit line on the exhibit signage. No stock or commercial photos.
Artist’s original photography encouraged. Please include a brief description of how you used your photo in your label info on the entry form.
