Bound & Threaded Stories

Bound & Threaded Stories
Bound & Threaded Stories is an exhibition produced by young artists that participated in the Reece Museum's annual Teen Renaissance Camp. This year nine campers, aged 12 to 16, worked with artist LaKesha Lee and Museum staff to create a fiber inspired exhibition. The camp was in session June 2 to 6, and the exhibition will be on display through September 12.
Campers created personal quilts and a group installation that blends personal narratives in one of the Museum's galleries. Collaborating with artist LaKesha Lee, a Knoxville based artist, campers worked together to creatively reuse fibers, found, and personal materials to produce an installation that showcases storytelling through wall quilts, softs sculpture and fiber installation.
