The exhibit in- vited artists to use photographs taken at a regional farm- ers market as a springboard to create new works in fiber. Each artist selected one inspiring image, interpreting its colors, textures, and subject through the lens of their chosen medium. Viewers will have a chance to compare the two - getting a glimpse into the creative process - as the photograph and the finished piece will be displayed side-by-side.
