Printed & Stitched

examining the overlap between the hand pulled print and the art quilt

California Society of Printmakers (CSP) and Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) California/Nevada Regions are proud to present Printed & Stitched, a collaborative exhibition featuring 58 original works exploring the connection between printing and stitching.

Printed imagery and sewn fibers are a seemingly ancient combination. Printmakers often reference fiber and stitching, while textile artists/art quilters incorporate printed elements into their work. At their confluence there is pigment and pressure, woven layers, and borders sewn with fiber. There is color and also texture, form, intention, ingenuity, and many stories. Textile and print go hand in hand, and the combinations are constantly being reinvented. 

This unique exhibition showcases the work of artists who incorporate elements of both printmaking and stitching in their creations, resulting in pieces that are both visually stunning and conceptually rich. The show brings together many talented artists who are pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques  to create captivating pieces that blur the line between two seemingly distinct art forms. The show includes over fifty artists from both SAQA and CSP.

One of the highlights is esteemed juror, Christine Aaron, a professional multi-disciplinary artist who bridges the techniques of print and fiber in her own work. Aaron is a conceptual and material-focused artist whose work is exhibited nationally and internationally. She utilizes printmaking, wax, wood, metal, and paper to create work investigating memory and the fragility of human connection. Aaron’s keen eye and discerning taste have resulted in a thought-provoking selection of pieces that challenge the traditional notions of both media.

Printed & Stitched will be touring 2023–2027.
