What is a line? It can move forwards or backward, up, down, and across. It can form patterns and grids; it can be orderly or chaotic. It can be a thought, a memory, a story, a text. What is a line? It is the start of a journey.
Taking cues from art, design, science, math, geography, language, and writing, the works in this exhibition consider the line in all of its possibilities. Selected from Cambridge Art Galleries’ permanent collection of contemporary Canadian fibre art, these works invite us to think about what a line is, from its formal qualities and beyond.
