For most of us, there’s a spool of old sewing thread gathering dust in the back of a drawer full of other unused junk. Plus, when a button finally does snap off, unless it’s your favorite shirt or blouse, you toss it out–never mind the thread. Artist Gabriel Dawes works almost exclusively with thread, but he isn’t sewing buttons. Actually, he’s not sewing anything. Dawes entwines yards of thread to create 3-D patterns and designs in the installations of Relics and Remembrances. His work will be on display with Cassandra Emswiler’s, whose work draws upon memories of her childhood home. A reception will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at Centraltrak, 800 Exposition Ave., where the works will be accessible 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. The exhibit runs through April 23. Visit utdallas.edu/centraltrak for more information.
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: April 1. Continues through April 23, 2011
