The Ties That Bind Asheville™

Emily Clanton — Lead Artist, Facilitator, Principal Investigator

Tie A Ribbon, Let It Go

This community-driven installation invites reflection and connection through the simple act of tying cloth to a shared fence. Visitors contribute wishes, griefs, and hopes — weaving a visual record of the season.

This is a time-based work. In the fall, the tied fabric will be harvested and transformed into new art pieces, carrying the story forward.
