'Con Confection,' features three contemporary artists who have drawn from the traditional art of embroidery to create innovative results. Confection, usually defined as an elaborate creation or a sweet combination of materials, is the key to this grouping of artists who use embellishment and decoration in their work. Mixing minimalist values with post-colonial visualizations, the artists of 'Con Confection' thread the memories of tradition with fresh materials and layered meanings.
