McMillen Foundation Fellowship / by Timea Tihanyi

I am honored to be selected as one of the 2020 MAC Fellows by the Robert C. McMillen Foundation. With the help of the fellowship, I’ll continue my research of Hungarian textile traditions, in particular, cross stitch patterns in the Great Plains (Nagy Alföld) region. I’m interested in the origin and interpretation of the design motifs, and how they may be reinterpreted with 21st century technologies. I will use both ceramic printing and computer knitting to rethink both the process of making, as well as the medium.
