Beyond Intention, is an exhibition that presents the work of three contemporary fiber and mixed-media artists: Maggy Rozycki Hiltner, Ashley V. Blalock and Jennifer Reifsneider. The exhibition aims to address the topic of Intention and Intent as it relates to the profound relationship between the traditions of fiber arts in women’s lives, as well as its power in the making or breaking of identity, social roles, and societal constructs. The exhibition is comprised of three distinct presentations of work by each artist that inquire into the meaning of Intention as it pertains to them individually. Materials, process, and narrative form part of the visual conversation as they repurpose, reuse and redirect meaning in a multi-dimensional way. Works shown utilize established techniques like crochet, needlepoint, quilting, knot tying, and pattern making, but re-imagine their purpose and use by transforming them into art works that go beyond intention.
