The opening reception and lecture for Sarah Wagner's Yard/Zone will be Sunday, May 18 at 2:30 in Room 11 Home Economics Building followed by a reception hosted by the Friends of the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. The show will continue in the Hillestad Gallery through Sept 5, 2014.

Artist Sarah Wagner investigates invisible environmental systems such as genetic mutation, radiation, class and race. In her talk she will discuss her most recent work which explores her neighborhood in the inner city of Detroit and the "invisible" strata, of which she has become increasingly aware. She has developed advanced patterning and sewing methods to create complex organic forms.

Fabric Into Form Workshop: a workshop of discovery and intuition with the artist will be held May 14 - 17. For more details visit the gallery web page (http://cehs15.unl.edu/cms/index.php?s=9&p=63). Space is limited for the workshop.
