Sharp-eyed attendees of the Threads of Truth fiber arts based exhibition in the Zhou B. Art Center might notice that Vivian Lin’s new soft sculpture “Thy Eve” is made of samples and scraps from the research performed in the CMU Textiles Lab [autoknit, visualknit].

Vivian gathered these scraps during an informal residence at the textiles lab during the summer of 2019. With the help of her sister, Jenny Lin, a CSD PhD student, Vivian is also using the lab’s visualknit system to develop more soft sculptures.
