In place of the usual in-person show, the goal of the SAQA Oregon Emergence: Fiber Art from Concept to Stitch exhibition was a book with a fresh spin: focus on the process rather than the end result. The book is an array of artists’ stories, photographs, and details about techniques with an intimate view into creating art quilts from the artists’ point of view. As in other shows, SAQA members were selected through a jurying process. But this journey differed in that submissions required a written proposal, an artist statement, and images of previous work. The challenge was simple: create an art quilt and prepare your work for publication during a prescribed six-month period.
