Historically the techniques of needle and thread are of domesticity and craft, but in the hands of these four artists, the works transcend and challenge those conceptions of utilitarian purpose and place. In using the needle arts and conceptual approaches, color theory, composition and narrative, the works inhabit the realm of contemporary art.
