Fiber Artist Akiko Suzuki and The Case of Mr. F
Not only has artist Akiko Suzuki been exhibiting her award-winning contemporary art quilts and fiber works internationally over the last two decades, but her works express her personal and global concerns and hopes on a variety of issues. Her work, The Case of Mr. F, made of fabric, thread, paper, and felt, premiered at an exhibition titled Solano Water Stories: Artist Voices, which May 25, 2-24 at the Temple Art Lofts in Vallejo. The exhibition is a collaboration between Arts Benicia and the Vallejo Center for the Arts. With funds from a California Arts Council grant, Arts Benicia has commissioned artworks by Suzuki and a dozen other artists from throughout Solano County; each work responds to the theme of water conservation and climate mitigation.
