The Ties That Bind Asheville

This participatory installation invited visitors to contribute cloth ties to a shared fence, creating a slow-growing expression of wishes, memories, and reflections. Over five months, the work became a living tapestry shaped by individual gestures within a clear, time-bound container.

On November 7, 2025, the project reached its planned closure. Fabric gathered from the installation will be transformed into new artworks, extending the life of the piece while honoring the many distinct contributions made throughout the season.
