DESCRIPTION:Liz Collins is well-known for pushing the boundaries of art and
  design in innovative and experimental work in fabric\, yarn\, and other m
 aterials and techniques associated with textile media. Although Collins em
 braces a language of abstraction\, bold colors\, patterns\, and symbols al
 lude to queer and feminist references\, sourcing further inspiration from 
 interpersonal and environmental forces such as electricity\, volatility\, 
 connectivity\, and energy exchange. Whether in the form of textile\, paint
 ing\, drawing or installation\, Collins frequently explores the dichotomy 
 of structure and entropy–qualities inherent to textile that speak to the
  fissures present in broader architectural\, political\, and social struct
 ures. Processes of slowly cutting\, unbinding\, revealing\, and rearrangin
 g subtly nod to the destabilization that takes place when small but organi
 zed acts aim to undercut rigid systems.\n \nCollins’ exhibitions include
  the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia\, Foreign
 ers Everywhere\, curated by Adriano Pedrosa\, and Woven Histories: Textile
 s and Modern Abstraction\, curated by Lynne Cooke\, at the Los Angeles Cou
 nty Museum of Art\, Los Angeles\, CA\; the National Gallery of Art\, Washi
 ngton\, DC\; the National Gallery of Canada\, Ottawa\, ON\; and The Museum
  of Modern Art\, New York\, NY. 'Liz Collins: Motherlode' a mid-career ret
 rospective\, is currently on view at the RISD Museum in Providence\, RI\, 
 with an accompanying monograph.\n\nThis is a free\, non-ticketed event.\n\
 nCollins' work will be on display in the Laura Mesaros Gallery at the WVU 
 Canady Creative Arts Center September 18 - October 16\, 2025.
