Lov Art is pleased to announce WEFAN, an exhibition of textile and fibre-based art, opening May 24, 2025, at The Hughes
Memorial Library in West Cornwall, Connecticut. The show will run through June 28th.

Bringing together twelve artists whose practices span generations and geographies, WEFAN explores the woven form as both structure and symbol, expressing themes of interrelation and connectivity through this tactile medium. Artists include: Dorothy Gill Barnes,
Julia Bland, Dee Clements, Dominic DiMare, Marion Hildebrandt, Kat Howard, Sue Lawty, Norma Minkowitz, Judy
Mulford, Ed Rossbach, Maris Van Vlack, and Masako Yoshida. Each engages the intimate materiality of fiber with
remarkable ingenuity, pushing the notion of weaving into new territories of form and meaning.
The title of the show draws from Old English, a language dating back to the 5th century. The word wefan meant “to
weave,” and this etymology underscores the exhibition’s focus: to trace the enduring resonance of woven forms across
time, culture, and material practice.

Set within the historic charm of The Hughes Memorial Library in West Cornwall, WEFAN offers an immersive encounter with material and making, a compelling invitation to reflect on the ties that bind
us.
