Erin Endicott "The Healing Sutras"
White Rabbit Lounge
This event has ended.
The Healing Sutras: the exquisite painterly embroidery of Erin Endicott. A unique breed of soft sculpture, Erin utilizes stitching and ink to paint on found objects: things that hold power because of their age and anthropomorphic wisdom. Erin's Healing Sutras tell stories of pain remembered and solace found. They indicate hope and speak of feminine patience evidenced by the painstakingly small stitches that create flowing abstract shapes.
Erin spent time in Scotland studying textile design and finished her art education in Philadelphia where she currently resides. An art teacher for many years, she recently decided to take time off to focus her attention completely to her art career.
The Healing Sutras, hand embroidery on vintage fabric stained with walnut ink, will be on view at the White Rabbit Lounge throughout the month of October along with another series of works: The Art of Dressmaking. These smaller and simpler works consist of ink and watercolor paintings on the pages of a found dressmaking book.
