About the shows:
The Ridge Tapestries - A Community’s Story
The Ridge Tapestries, created by fabric artist Marsha Stone, depict the resettling of a sparsely populated rural area, the cohesion of a new community, and the effort to protect the watershed they called home. Like the Bayeux Tapestry, the Ridge Tapestries are hand embroidered using wool thread on linen backing.
After the Storms - Herlinde Spahr
This exhibition, entitled After the Storms. From Hemlock to Lotus, captures a journey culminating in the five panels of Rising from Darkness. The Lotus. About working in black and white, Spahr states: “A printmaker moves between the extremes of soot and soul, between the stain of ink and transcendence. The journey is through a landscape of carbon and soot, with the triumphant soul captured in the grime of ink.”
