Fashion can be a marker of cultural history, tracking historical movements through the lines, patterns, materials, and even hemlines of a garment or an era. Common Threads is an exhibition of jewelry and sculptural objects that were each inspired by an iconic fashion piece. The items used as inspiration are highly notable, whether because of their innovativeness, craftsmanship, or the way in which they are significantly tied to a moment in history. Participating artists are: James Betts, Christine Chang, Gina Denton, Emily Draus, Gabi Giannini, Nicholas Hesson, Maria Louise High, Gemma Hollister, Sarah Montagnoli, Wyatt Nestor-Pasicznyk, Monica Nickles, Jen Pape, Mary Raivel, Kirsten Rook, Ellen Sisti, Mallory Weston, Marley White, and Sarah Wolfenden.
