Make a Day of It – Field Notes and Nearby Exhibitions

There is an abundance of art to see on your trip to or from Field Notes: an art survey at browngrotta arts in Wilton, Connecticut next month (May 3 – 11). 

Tracey Emin
A Moment Without You – Tracey Emin

Coming from the east? The first major presentation of Tracey Emin’s work in a North American museum is currently at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. The exhibition, Tracey Emin: I Loved you Until Morning, features paintings from 2007 to the present. Together, the works demonstrate the artist’s unflinching commitment to challenging conceptions of female experience.

Coming from New York or other parts west? The Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut is hosting a very interesting exhibition of sculptures by Isamu Noguchi. Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror, features a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that showcase the artist’s mastery of material, form, and texture. In the first, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains, fruit, and sky in the second grouping, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that, in modernity, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas, weight and weightlessness, and past and present into visual conversation.

Coming to Wilton on May 10th? You can visit Field Notes and three other textile art exhibitions at the Silvermine Art Gallery in New Canaan, CT.  Fiber 2025 has been juried by Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown of browngrotta arts. An international exhibition, it seeks to showcase the best of contemporary fiber art, reflecting the breadth of functional or non-functional works that use fiber and/or fiber art techniques in traditional or innovative ways. In conjunction with Fiber 2025, are two exhibitions curated by browngrotta arts in the Silvermine Galleries: Masters of the Medium, CT, highlighting the work of acclaimed Connecticut artists Helena Hernmarck and Norma Minkowitz, and Mastery and Materiality: International, featuring work by 17 artists from nine countries, including renowned Jacquard weavers, accomplished embroiderers, and fiber sculptors who work in seaweed, bark, wire, paper straws, lead, and fish scales.

Glass House
The Glass House

Coming to Field Notes another day during its 10-day run? You can see art in the neighborhood in New Canaan or Ridgefield. Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land is at The Glass House in New Canaan — 8.4 miles away. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural SitesCollisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape. 

A Garden of Promise and Dissent

Field Notes: Pioneers

For our Spring 2025 Art in the Barn Exhibition, Field Notes: an art survey, we’ve taken an expansive look at the fiber art field. We’ve checked in with artists we work with and invited a group of artists new to browngrottarts. In addition, we’ve gathered selected works by five pioneering artists — Sheila Hicks, Masakazu Kobayashi, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette, Ed Rossbach and Kay Sekimachi. 

Some 60 years ago, artists begn making works that transcended our existing concept of textiles. While based on traditional techniques, these works, collectively known as fiber art, incorporated metals, minerals, and many other materials in addition to natural and synthetic fibers. For the first time, textiles came off the wall, expanded from two to three dimensions and into the surrounding space. The five artists we will include in Field Works, were not just pivotal in the emergence of contemporary fiber art in the  60s and 70s, but significant contributors to the art form’s current popularity. 

Masakazu Kobayashi
39mko Bow ‘86, Masakazu Kobayashi, silk, rayon, aluminum, wood thread spools, 2.25” x 20” x 20”, 1986

Kobayashi’s work was the subject of a major retropsective at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, Japan in 2024 and Hicks’s work was, most recently, featured in a major exhibition in two German museums, Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop and the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, earlier this year. Rousseau-Vermette’s work will be the subject of major retrospective at the Musée National des Beaux Arts du Québec (MNBAQ)  in Canada in 2026. And, you can see works by Hicks, Rosshbach, and Sekimachi in Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction at the Museum of Modern Art in New York beginning next week and work by all five in Field Notes: an art survey, at browngrotta arts in Wilton, CT, May 3rd through the 11th.

Sheila Hicks
Detail: 40sh Family Evolution, Sheila Hicks, 9” x 25” x 9”, 1997

Renowned fiber sculptor Sheila Hicks began creating innovative textile works in the 1950s. She studied painting with Josef Albers at Yale, and studied weaving in Mexico and Chile. Ball-like forms and “boules” are a motif to which Hicks repeatedly returns. The core of these forms, as in the case of Family Evolution, featured in Field Notes is often formed from garments that have previously belonged to the artist’s friends or family. They hold memories for Hicks, who refers to them as her memory balls. The personal aspect is intentional. 

Masakazu Kobayashi, (1944-2004) was an early actor in contemporary fiber art.  He first studied lacquerware at Kyoto City University of Fine Arts (later Kyoto City University of Arts) but, according to the Kyoto Musuem of Modern Art,  “it was “Encounter with a Single Thread,” which he made while working at Kawashima Textiles Company, that spearheaded a series of works in which he dangled, stretched and unravelled yarn to create three-dimensional pieces.”  Bow ’86 is featured in Field Notes. Made of silk, rayon, aluminum, and wooden thread spools, the work continues the artist’s exploration of the bow — a shape he created by bending aluminum bow space wilth tension held  with silken thread. The bow explorations embody the equilibrium he sought in his work between his capacity as a creator and the energy of the world around him.

Mariette Rousseau-Vermette
Field Note: 171mr Reflets de Montréal, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette, wool, 42″ x 82″ x 2.5″, 1968

Born in Trois-Pistoles, Québec, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette (1926 – 2006) received her training at both the École des beaux-arts du Québec and at the Oakland College of Arts and Crafts, in California where she worked in Dorothy Liebes’s studio in San Francisco. She married Claude Vermette in 1952. The couple travelled extensively in Europe and Asia, allowing Rousseau-Vermette to broaden and deepen her understanding of different tapestry techniques. For four decades, she created luminous tapestries and sculptures for collectors and commissions throughout Canada and the US, including for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian Chancery, Exxon Corporation and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC (a curtain gifted by the Canadian Government). Reflets de Montréal, included in Field Notes, is a sumptuous early work from 1968 made of wool that Rousseau-Vermette sourced for its lustrous qualities. 

All three of these artists, Hicks, Kobayashi, and Rousseau-Vermette, exhibited works at several of the prestigious International Tapestry Biennials in Lausanne, Switzerland which were organized from 1962 to 1995.

Ed Rossbach
Ed Rossbach 45.1r Poncho, 8″ x 7.75″ x 7.75″, 1991; 8r.1 Punt,, 14″ x 5″ x 5″, 1989; 20.1r Wyoming, 8″ x 11″ x 11″, 1996, plaited ash veneer, rice paper, heat transfer

Ed Rossbach and Kay Sekimachi were both living in Berkeley, California in the 60s and 70s, which was an incubator for contemporary fiber arts. As a faculty member at the University of California, Ed Rossbach (1914 – 2002) was a major force spurring these explorations. The Museum of Arts and Design in New York, New York described Ed Rossbach’s importance: “Rossbach was an imaginative and adept weaver, mastering ancient techniques and innovating with new and unorthodox materials, such as plastics and newspaper. He is considered by many to be the pre-eminent influence in the rise of basketry as a sculptural art form. In addition, Rossbach is known for incorporating unconventional imagery, including pop culture references.” Numerous artists from Diedrick Brackins to Marvin Lipofsky to Gyöngy Laky claim him as an influence. In Field Notes, Punt, one of Rossbach’s pop culture-inspired works will be exhibited. A resale work, Punt features a football kicker in bright colors. The other works included, Poncho and  Wyoming, also feature intriguing — South American textile patterning and an image of gravel from the West.

Kay Sekimachi
127,136,137,170k Summer session with Trude Guermonprez, Kay Sekimachi, Variation of honeycomb weave, 8 harness, group threading, cotton, linen, 14.5″ x 9″, 1950’s

Kay Sekimachi is recognized as a leader in the resurrection of fiber and weaving as a legitimate means of artistic expression. She is known as a “weaver’s weaver” for her unusual use of a 16-harness loom in constructing three-dimensional sculptural pieces. In the early 1970s she used nylon monofilament to create hanging quadruple tubular woven forms in an exploration of space, transparency, and movement. She attended the California College of Arts and Crafts (CA), where she studied with Trude Guermonprez, and at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (ME), where she studied with Jack Lenor Larsen. In Field Notes, very significant early works that Sekimachi made in the 1950s while studying with Trude Guermonprez, Samples: Summer Session with Trude Guermonprez, will be on view. Sekimachi credits Guermonprez with empowering her through her style of teaching, which emphasized individual creativity and curiosity. 

As Aby Mackie, another artist in Field Notes, observes: The field of fiber art is currently experiencing a profound shift, gaining recognition as a respected medium within contemporary art. This growing appreciation affirms textiles’ versatility and expressive potential, establishing it as a powerful medium for storytelling and innovation in the current art world.”

Field Notes: Who’s New? Sculptures and Vessels

browngrotta arts’ Spring 2025 “Art in the Barn,” exhibition. Field Notes: an art surveyopens on May 3rd and runs through May 11th. In Field Notes, browngrotta arts reports on the state of play in fiber art, as the medium crests in popularity, with significant exhibitions in the US and abroad. We survey artists we work with regularly, artists who’ve caught our eye, and gather select pieces by artists who introduced the innovative approach to textiles that’s become contemporary fiber art. 

We’ll present the work of six artists, new to browngrotta arts, in Field Notes. Three of them, Yong Joo Kim of Korea and the US, Masako Nakahira of Japan, and Sophie Rowley who resides in Germany, create works for the wall. We’ll tell you more about them and their work in an upcoming arttextsyle post. 

Three of the artists we have invited to Field NotesSung Rim Park of Korea, Ane Lyngsgaard of Denmark, and Jennifer Zurick of the US create vessels and fiber sculptures. Here’s a sneak peak at works we’ll feature and into these artists’ thoughts about what and how they produce.

Sung Rim Park floor Sculpture

Sung Rim Park’s ethereal fiber sculptures of thread and hanji paper explore repetition. Her work employs repeated knots, which in multiples, permit three-dimensional construction. The tightly tied knots, and the threads connected to them, are built up to form a spatial matrix. “Fiber is the most appropriate material for my artwork,” Park says, “because of its multidimensional perspective, physical characteristics, psychological stability, cultural nostalgia, and its ability to capture both sight and touch.” Park majored in costume and textile design in Korea and the UK. Her sculptures reference her interest in contemplation and healing. Starry nights are an influence. “[N]ature is a place of relaxation and a source of adoration for me, and this is the reason I chose this as a theme for my artwork.” 

Ane Lyngsgaard basket

From Denmark, Ane Lyngsgaard  has taught in Europe, Canada, the US, and Africa for 20 years. She has achieved international recognition for her innovative basket works. The TearUp Festival in the UK described Lyngsgaard as “a bonafide genius with the widest range of materials.” Her sculptural vessels are made with a mix of bark, driftwood, recylced fiber concrete, wire, and willow which she grows and harvests herself. “Initially, it was the willow that captivated me,” she writes, “followed by other organic materials, and now it is whatever the eye discovers and the hands shape. I am always drawn to new materials—lichen, seaweed, old ropes, willow, and more—and how I can alter the perception of those materials, exploring the expressions they can take.”

Jennifer Zurick from Kentucky in the US, is a self-taught artist. She specializes in black willow bark which she has been harvesting and weaving into baskets since 1980. Zurick has exhibited internationally and created special commissions for Spanish firm Loewe (2019 Salone del Mobile, Milano) and the Irthi Contemporary Craft Council in Sharjah, UAE. “My work has been deeply influenced by Native American basketry, tribal textiles from around the world, and contemporary Japanese basketry,” Zurick says. “I aspire to create simple, elegant woven vessels that possess a richness of spirit and a presence embodying the soul of the tree from which they came …. The random woven pieces are my attempt to deviate from structured, methodical methods into more intuitive, flowing work that feels earth rooted and spontaneous, like something one might find growing along a woodland path, twisting and winding itself into the forest plants.”

Fiber 2025 will open on May 10th at the Silvermine Art Galleries in New Canaan, Connecticut. Fiber 2025 is a juried exhibition. The jurors are Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown of browngrotta arts. This international exhibition seeks to showcase the best of contemporary fiber art, reflecting the breadth of functional or non-functional works that use fiber and/or fiber art techniques in traditional or innovative ways. Artwork in this exhibition may be made from natural or high tech materials that reference fiber and that blur the lines between art, architecture and craft. Fiber 2025 will run through June 19, 2025.

In conjunction with Fiber 2025, browngrotta arts will curate two small exhibitions in the Silvermine Galleries. The first, Masters of the Medium, CTwill highlight the work of Helena Hernmarck and Norma Minkowitz.A recipient of the Connecticut Governor’s Arts Award, Helena Hernmarck is a Swedish-born artist and hand weaver recognized for revolutionizing tapestry as a medium suited to modern architectural environments. Norma Minkowitz explores the possibilities of crocheted, interlaced sculptures stiffened into hard mesh-like structures. Her works are abstract, figurative, often self-referential, and found in numerous museum collections. Both Hernmarck and Minkowitz are Fellows of the American Craft Council. The second exhibition, Mastery and Materiality: Internationalwill feature work by 17 artists from nine countries, including renowned Jacquard weavers Grethe Sørensen and Lia Cook, from Denmark and the US, accomplished embroiderers Åse Ljones and Heidrun Schimmel, from Norway and Germany, and fiber sculptors from the US, UK, and Japan who work in seaweed, bark, wire, paper straws, lead, and fish scales.

Summer offers more delights. On June 5th, the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, will present the first major retrospective of Jeremy Frey’s work. From the museum’s description of Jeremy Frey: Woven: “A seventh-generation Passamaquoddy basket maker and one of the most celebrated Indigenous weavers in the country, Frey learned traditional Wabanaki weaving techniques from his mother and through apprenticeships at the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance. While Frey builds on these cultural foundations in his work, he also pushes the creative limits of his medium…” The exhibition features over 50 baskets made of raw materials such as sweetgrass, cedar, spruce root, and porcupine quills. It will run through September 7, 2025.

In July, the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence will host Liz Collins, MotherlodeThe exhibition will celebrate the richly varied career and work of the New York-based Queer feminist artist known for her bold abstract patterns, inventive use of materials, and radical experiments with fiber. Over the past three decades, Collins (b. 1968) has excavated deep below the surface of established ways of making, bringing to light eye-dazzling creations that disrupt the boundaries between art, design, and craft.

Midwesterners and West Coasters have their own opportunities to view exceptional fiber art this year. Ruth Asawa: retrospective opens at the San Francisco Museum of Art opens this week. From vibrant drawings and paintings to clay masks and cast bronze sculptures, more than 300 works give insight into Asawa’s relentlessly experimental vision. In San Jose, the Museum of Quilts and Textiles will feature Kay Sekimachi: Ingenuity and Imagination opening in June. Sekimachi learned origami, painting and drawing while in an incarceration camp for Japanese Americans during World War II.  By 1949, she was weaving large, complex wall hangings. In the late 1970s, Sekimachi began to create small pots and bowls that combined Japanese paper with materials left over from her weaving. She also created bowls of dried leaves and hornet’s nest paper.and card weavings, influenced by Paul Klee. (Rarely seen works from Sekimachi’s early days as a weaver in the 1950s will be exhibited in Field Notes at browngrotta arts in May.) At the Denver Art Museum, you’ll find Confluence in Nature: Nancy Hemenway Barton, which features 17 works by Hemenway (1920–2008), a multidisciplinary artist, found her voice as she traveled the world, experiencing rich colorful cultural traditions from the Andean weavers in Bolivia to appliquéd textiles by the Fon in Benin.
