Temporary Urban Knitting Installation celebrates Black History Month at Cross Creek at Linear Park.
The Cool Spring Downtown District is pleased to unveil its latest temporary art installation “InnerWoven.”
“InnerWoven” is an urban knitting project curated, designed and executed by Fayetteville’s own fabric artist, Kia Love. The installation can be found at Linear Park, along Mason Street. For those willing to take a walk off the beaten path- we invite you to see how fiber art emboldens nature with color, textile and a tribute to Black History Month.
Inspired by the bright colors and patterns of African wax print fabrics, “InnerWoven” is a series of five large-format knits wrapped on tree trunks in downtown Fayetteville’s greenway, Cross Creek at Linear Park. The temporary fabric installation highlights the importance of textiles and craftsmanship in Black culture. Brightly colored knitwork, black and white accents and unique three-dimensional elements are used to encourage the audience to get a closer look to spark their interest and highlight the importance of handcrafts.
