About this Event
Each of us experience moments of fracture, division, and separation. These “splits,” whether they’re physical, emotional or societal, profoundly shape our perspective. In this fiber arts exhibition, Susan Allred uses the traditional crafting of quilting to create sculptural forms that explore the nature of splits and the ways they can challenge and transform us.
In the past, quilting was a social activity, gathering the women in a household—or often a neighborhood—together to do handwork while they chatted and rested from other family duties. Allred believes that her modern version of this craft celebrates this historical power of social connection and the resilience of the human spirit. With quiet contemplation of our moments of division, we can learn to navigate these experiences with greater empathy and wisdom.
