3 Weeks Until Opening Day!

Detail of "The Way Out is Through" by textile artist Mary Pow

I've been honored to be one of three grantees of the Jerome Fiber Artist Project Grant for the 2018/2019 year. As part of my grant, I've been exploring creativity and I've taken a break from making products, such as MinneBites and my Mary Pow line of handbags and accessories. It's allowed me to be able to find a studio art practice for myself and push myself in new directions. 

Well, the year is coming to a close and I'm so proud that my resulting textile artworks will be on display for 9 weeks at Textile Center's Joan Mondale Gallery starting on May 23rd.

I do hope you'll join me for the opening day!

Mary Pow actively investigates the creative process through her methodical cut-and-sewn color block work where she explores the multitude of viewpoints contained within the world of humanity.

Janet Dixon uses memory and imagination as a basis for the autobiographical abstract maps she creates using breakdown screen-printing and low immersion dyeing.

In her Queer Encrypted Weavings, Heather MacKenzie is creating an ongoing series of queer heirlooms using contributed text coded into textile structures.

See you there!
