A University of Michigan "Gifts of Art" Exhibit
THREADS OF LIGHT: FIBER ART Laurie Wohl Internationally known fiber artist Laurie Wohl unweaves canvas to create symbolic shapes – wings, trees, prayer shawls, veils, windows, scrolls and ladders. She embeds spiritual narratives in these delicate pieces through form, color, texture, calligraphy and her own iconographic language, imbuing the pieces with the spirit and mystery of ancient textile traditions. Her Unweavings ® fiber art have been on long-term loan to the United States Embassies in Beirut, Vienna, Tunis, Cape Town, and Pretoria. Wohl has studios in both New York City and southwestern Wisconsin.
