Palos Verdes Art Center’s exhibition of wearable art returns with innovative works in fiber, jewelry and accessories by artists from around the globe chosen by an international jury. Wearable art differs from the world of fashion as being one-of-a-kind, handcrafted objects that reference sculpture as much as clothing. Artists participating in this year’s exhibition are from Asia, Europe, both North and South America and Australia.
Featuring wearable art in all media, Wearable Expressions promotes the adornment of the body seen through the aesthetic lens of fine art. Wearable Expressions is established to promote the sharing of new visions and the exploration of innovative techniques and materials in art to wear.
Tylar Merrill, designer and creator of Thimbleberry Felt Designs, has been selected for for another juried fashion show. Last October, Tylar she was highlighted at the Uncommon Threads: 30th Annual Art-to-Wear Runway Show in St. Charles, Illinois. Next month Tylar’s felt fashions will be on stage again at the WEARABLE EXPRESSIONS in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA from February 10 – April 16, 2017.
Tylar Merrill is a fiber artist based in Eugene, Oregon and has been creating felt art and teaching fashion design for over 30 years. She teaches both beginner and advanced/ master classes using a wide variety of felting techniques and applications. Tylar’s approach to felt making is intuitive, being open to the unexpected and to always have fun felting!
