	Review: TWiNE on Display By Micala Sidore . . . TWiNE, Tapestry Weavers in New England, held their first meeting in Guild, NH, in the fall of 1991. . . . TWiNE has had a few small exhibitions. This most recent [one] at the River Tree Center for the Arts in Kennebunk, ME, was possibly the most ambitious  Members Jan Austin, Michelle Mancini and Susanne Pretty juried sixty-seven entries, and selected forty-two. . . At least one piece by each member submitting work made the cut. . . . All in all, the TWiNE exhibit showed a high level, not just of technical competence, but also of care in imaginative design.

This show represented a synthesis of four very different approaches to tapestry weaving. . . . The four perspectives on the world and weaving were united as a harmonious whole, a fitting achievement for a contemporary tapestry gallery, as creating coherence from diverse strands and materials is the technical heart of the weaver’s art.
