Fibers & Materials Studies graduate student Mika Obayashi received first prize in Excellence in Fibers IX, a juried exhibition by the publication Fiber Art Now. Over 1,200 artworks were submitted for consideration. The installation, titled “Gospel of Three Dimensions,” was originally on view in the Jewett Art Gallery at Wellesley College from September 6 through October 28, 2022.
