Lace In Translation - This exhibit is a collaboration between 3 art/design teams to create site-specific works using designs from the Quaker Lace Company collection as inspiration. They reinterpreted the textile based designs using industrial materials and tools. (Be sure to click on the 'Video and Images' link at the top of the page to view a 12:38 minute documentary)
