Out of Darkness is an exhibit of bold, colorful art quilts and textiles that follow the theme of
emerging from a period of darkness. The three artists of the Bent Needle Collective- Carol Nilsen, Deborah Weir, and Susan Willen- have created a collection of pieces that play with their own personal journeys and talents, but that all flow into one universal story of recovery, optimism, and hope for the future.
By focusing on new directions to take their work, the Bent Needle Collective hopes to challenge and inspire viewers to use fiber arts as a vehicle for expressing things in uniquely personal, tactile ways.
