Lincoln Library Solo Show
Gardener's Bouquet
I am very happy to have the chance to show some of my tapestries at the Lincoln Library's charming gallery.
The works were made during pandemic times as a way to keep my life drive fueled with creative action that could still be done in isolation. They reflect my interest in the domestic objects and landscapes that we use and tend every day, a source both of comfort and inspiration.
Concord Art Association
Nefertari and Bowls
The collage depicts some of my favorite objects - dishes, flowers, and a statue from my small collection. It's a sister to the image below from the Member's Prize show at Cambridge Art Association. Very fitting, since Nefertari was the sister of the more famous queen Nefertiti.
Newburyport Arts Festival
Waterfront Festival in Newburyport
If you are looking for something fun on Sunday, May 15th, I will be participating in Newburyport Arts Festival weekend. From 10 -1 on Sunday along the waterfront at the harbor or along Inn Street (TBD) I will be at a tent selling my works on paper, and fabric to benefit the Community Care Network. Let's hope for a sunny day.
Marblehead Arts Association
Centennial National Exhibit
Variations 2022
The series of blind contour bistro chairs was done on summer vacation in 2021 when the pandemic was still hot and bothering. They are drawn on book pages from a discarded copy of "Simple Genius" and then colored and collaged with ink and painted papers.
Meditations from the Quarantine Studio: Tapestries
The tapestries currently on view were all hand-stitched in my pandemic work/home. Each work includes fabric that came from clothing my family has worn, e.g. my brother’s Hawaiian shirts that his daughter will not let him wear in public, dresses my daughter wore in India while studying water purification or in Kenya helping prevent HIV transmission, or snippets my artist daughter donated from leftovers in her curated collections of amazing upcycled things.
My fiancé donated shirts, and I received many gifts of cloth from neighbors and friends when they heard of my new practice.
The rods on which they hang were made in Indonesia and sold by a fair trade company here in the US.
Email Catherine Fernbach for more information about any of the pieces.
Blue
I am thrilled to announce that my collage “Begonia and Blues” was chosen for Best in Show by juror Dr. Jessica May, Managing Director of Art and Exhibitions with The Trustees, and Artistic Director of deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum.
In conjunction with this exhibition I delivered an on-line talk that is now available on YouTube.
