The Goals of Tassel Month…
The purpose of this project is to explore the joyous and tactile nature of fiber arts in a medium that exists to be moved, shaken, and handled while providing decorative flourish.
Create a taxonomy of shapes, textures, and materials for the purpose of understanding what enhances the joyous and tactile qualities of a tassel.
Create a specific definition of a tassel that will embrace variety and unexpected applications of tassels but still provide a rigorous framework for approving and rejecting objects as ‘tassels’.
Create a body of work that can form the basis of a future gallery show or pitch for a gallery show.
