I just receive a request for donations of shirts to the Kennedy Center for a Fiber Exhibit by Finnish Artist Kaarina Kaikkonen which will be installed as part of the Kennedy Center's Nordic Festival. The exhibit will be entitled "Are We Still Afloat?" Kaikkonen is known for creating art out of recycled clothing from the community reflecting a theme of sustainability. All I needed was a good excuse to clean out my husband's closet!
Here is an example of one of Kaikkonen's installations from 2012. I love the soft impression of the art and how the light and color interact.
