Quantum Color showcases artworks by Milwaukee-based fiber and materials artist Thomas C. Romero, including his suspended crocheted “structures”; weavings; paper and fiber collagraph mono prints; and large-scale paintings. Romero’s varied fiber art explorations are united by his bold use of color, lively gesture, and unexpected use of materials.

About his suspended crocheted structures, Romero writes, “As the viewer moves through the space, multiple colors and layers are produced, projected, and reflected, ever-changing as you engage with its environment. Like leaves shaking on the trees in a fall breeze, as you move, the colors, shapes, and subjects move and change with you. Never seeing the same interaction unless you stand completely still.”

Quantum Color runs concurrently with 100 Knittings, an exhibition of artworks by Renée Roeder Earley.

About the Artist
Thomas C. Romero is an Interdisciplinary artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Through his work, he bridges the mediums of drawing, painting, printmaking, and large fiber installation through deep meditation and observation. Romero’s practice serves as a broad investigation of how the engagement of color and line can reveal and project information stored deep within the surface or material. Within his structures are a documentation of memories and stories that reveal themselves through his hands, and onto the fibers. Using multiple mediums allows him to extend through these memories and lock them into place onto any surface, weaving each piece together to tell a larger story of shared histories, reflections, and projections.

Exhibitions at the Textile Arts Center are sponsored by Paula and David Kraemer.
