Statement

"I think the most important component in current textile work is its ability to carry an idea or communicate an emotion. Fiberart has gained more respect, has made a welcome shift from being technique-based and material-based to being idea-based. In the future I hope textiles will enjoy an even broader acceptance within the art world."

Reviews

Sally Bebo-Anderson, Duluth, Minnesota: "This piece of work - the Veggie Sweater - is one of my favorites. It is a great example of humor, love of color, and the ability to bring things alive. The work of Mary Cain covers a broad spectrum which attests to her being multi-faceted, extremely creative, and never afraid to work OUT OF THE BOX."

Mary Allen, Duluth, Minnesota: "Congratulations on getting this fiberart web-site up and running. I enjoyed viewing the gallery of photos, especially the sweaters."
