Stories are Made, Loop by Loop Exhibit Opening
Using the rhythmic process of rug hooking, artists in this exhibition tell personal stories of motherhood, healing, and environmentalism. The artists use a variety of materials, from traditional wool fabric to recycled plastics, pulling strips through an open weave fabric to create a decorative surface design with loops, pile, and texture. Rug hooking is steeped in generations of resourceful, creative, and out-spoken makers. These artists work the technique’s simple, repetitive motions by hand, one loop at a time. Through this exhibit we invite you to explore a unique form of storytelling.
This traveling exhibition is organized by guest curator, Susan Feller.
This exhibition is supported by The Elliot Family Foundation, Daywood Foundation, Herscher Foundation, Inc., Charles & Mary Fayne Glotfelty Foundation, and Bernard H. & Blanche E. Jacobson Foundation.
