Complexity

Complex Weavers announces Complexity 2024, a juried international members’ exhibition featuring works that employ complex or innovative design, techniques, and/or weave structures. Complex weaving is defined by the cloth produced and the mind it took to create it, not by the equipment used.

Entries will be viewed anonymously by three jurors. Equally weighted judging criteria are: originality of design; effective use of complexity through design, technique, or weave structure; technical excellence; visual impact; and effective use of color palette. Surface embellishments, construction, and finishing techniques must aesthetically enhance the work.

Jurors:

Jurors for Complexity 2024 will be Muffy Young, David van Buskirk, and Alice Schlein. Learn more about the Complexity 2024 Jurors here.
