RISD Textiles New Talent Exhibition
June 06, 2012
The New York Design Center hosted the RISD Textiles New Talent event on June 6th, 2012. The exhibition space on the 10th floor was transformed by six upcoming MFA graduates of Rhode Island School of Design’s [RISD] Textile Department, along with six entering their second year in the fall. Each student presented their individual selections of work.
This year the work consists of apparel fabrics – largely hand produced, some of it designed as prototypes for industrial production – and reflects the goals of the program, which gives students the opportunity to become well-versed in the technical and creative potential of their chosen textile medium and its context, whether it be interior space, apparel, or another option. The emphasis is on the development of an individual visual and material language.
This year’s graduating MFA-class shows remarkable diverse bodies of work, highlighting the breadth of the program. Two students received recognition for their work with the Sherri Donghia Award of Achievement; Nikarika Nallari and Eulalia Choi. Return to archive
