Where Life Meets Art

Featured Artist at Fine Art of Fiber © Jaclyn Bae 2025 Dream II | Fiber Art Series Dream II continues the exploration of layered consciousness within the Dream I–IV series, created entirely from reclaimed denim garments that have been discharged, stripped, coiled, and reshaped into sculptural fiber forms.
