Design Competition
Author: Sherry J. Haar (Kansas State University)
The purpose of African Thread Connections was to design a wearable art garment that focused on the 1999 ITAA conference theme, Encountering Cultures: Making Connections. The fiber kenaf, which is indigenous to Africa, served as a point of departure for the design process. African dress and textile themes inspired the form and motifs.
