"In Stitches" Exhibition
Leila Heller Gallery
This event has ended.
"In Stitches" focuses on both well-known and emerging artists who incorporate stitching and thread as prominent features in the concept and structure of their work. The artists' process includes wrapping and embroidery as well as assemblage. The exhibition title is a double entendre of the Shakespearean idiom, and now common expression, when one is laughing so hard that it causes physical pain. While some of the work presents elements of humor, other work explores the role of women in society or questions the threads or painful truths of our social and moral existence. Threads literally and metaphorically form the connections which tie the artists' works together.
