The University Art Gallery at California State University, Dominguez Hills is proud to present Intertwine, a group exhibition featuring new and recent works by Los Angeles-based artists Vita Kari, Kim Schoenstadt, Julie Spielman, Irene Georgia Tsatsos, Jemima Wyman, and Alexis Zoto.

To “intertwine” means to be mutually connected or entangled—whether literally, as with threads, or metaphorically, as with ideas, identities, histories, and disciplines. Rooted in the material and metaphorical power of textile, Intertwine explores the complex relationships we have with cloth, our identity, and with each other. The exhibition considers textiles as sites of power, protection, and comfort, and considers the deep link between text and textile. Visitors are invited to reflect on what textiles reveal about personal and collective identity. Through handwork and process, the exhibition foregrounds the intimate and often invisible labor of woven work, highlighting the ways we bind ourselves to history, to community, and to systems of care and resistance.
“This exhibition is about more than materials,” says University Art Gallery director Aandrea Stang. “It’s about how the act of making—of weaving, stitching, assembling—becomes a form of meaning-making. Textiles are universal. We each make choices about our relationships to textiles daily. These artists’ works show us that textiles are ways we understand our place in the world.”
