The biggest exhibit during this visit is art about clothing. This long coat is made entirely from mom and grandma's saved cards, photos and newspaper clippings.
So gorgeous
Love this! Because I know so many people who have boxes of this sort, including me of course.
Each blouse has something extra added, like the hair at bottom left.
Looks pretty and delicate
but it is tiny nails!
Kimono from glass photos
Very personalized, all family photos
The lighting/shadows really make these for me.
I heard she is a local art teacher-what fun!
Look at that stitching!
They put up both the final dress and the photo that inspired it. The photos are pretty abstract looking when I hadn't read about them first I didn't know what I was looking at.
This team had about 6 different works presented and they were all of the theme of oversized dress, but in very different contexts. Later works were super interactive, playing music, telling stories, dancing in and around the dress.
The final room held two different artists.
This will get its own post next week.
The walls were covered with the story of creation told in large embroidered works.
I like the way each day got represented.
The birds in the sky stood out.
Zoom in to see how much work each one was.
Wow, amazing embroidery work.
The final room was about forgotten women of science. I had just watched an episode of The Good Place where Hypatia of Alexandria, a philosopher, gets some air time!
One of my faves
The textile part of this work.
Interesting, though I didn't love it. as much as the other exhibits.
