The best textile art exhibition of the year opened back in June and featured contributions from Vadis Turner, Catie Beth Thomas, Becky Dickovitch, Avery Williamson, Jana Harper, Quinn Hunter, S.H. Collier and Natalie Baxter. But the star of Dangerously Close to Weaving was contributing artist and curator Pam Marlene Taylor. Taylor’s show-stealing wall sculptures were emblematic of the exhibition’s title — they simultaneously embraced traditional craft techniques and completely transcended them. Even more impressive was Taylor’s organizing of this thoroughly impressive display, which demonstrated the kind of curatorial vision Nashville rarely sees outside of larger institutions. JOE NOLAN
