It’s been a stormy spring for me, so the call from Lindsay Miś was an extra anchor holding me to my mooring.
I’m just calling to let you know that we’ve chosen your work to be included in the Open Studios on the Sidewalk this summer.
Whoop! Lindsay is the Director of New Bedford’s public art organization, DATMA. This summer’s theme is “Shelter.” Two pieces from my Immigration Windows series were chosen. Twelve South Coast artists will make up this year’s event.
Summer public art is something I look forward to since moving to the South Coast and I’m so glad to be on this crew. The panels will be on display from June through October 2023.
Using an adaptation of the cathedral windows quilting technique, you’ll find felt, embroidery, applique and knitting in the real life works. The digital images will be flat and weather proof!
Does one of the images look familiar? It’s:
By Their Hands, We Are Fed which was part of the 2019 Immigration Windows public art project in Verona, Italy.
The hot pink work on the left is:
21 Life Salute which was my response upon learning that 21 people died of COVID in immigration detention facilities during 2020.
Now I just need to have my hub snap some photos of me working in my studio.
