"Needling" is ASU's Fiber Arts Network's Second Annual member's exhibition. The exhibition will be in the Step Gallery, which is located in Tempe Center, from March 28th through April 1st. The opening will be held from 6-8pm on March 29th - it will include refreshments and a sale table, with tote bags, T-shirts, and other items designed by club members.

Featuring the work of ASU MFA and BFA Fiber students, as well as ASU staff, faculty, and community members, this exhibition includes works that employ a fibers sensibility that seek to disturb, unsettle, or challenge expectations or assumptions. Members of FAN identify that something draws us to what are considered traditional household fiber techniques as they can carry connotations of home, tradition, and family. The exhibition turns those comfortable connotations upside down to convey sometimes shocking and uncomfortable. Traditional techniques are transformed into tools for powerful artistic and social voice, twisting those "soft" connotations into "hard" social commentary.
