Stitched Invitational Fiber Artist Group Reception

Stitched Invitational Fiber Artist Group Reception

Presented by The Loading Dock Gallery at Western Avenue | Studios & Lofts

Come and enjoy a delightful cavalcade of contemporary textiles in an historic mill at the Loading Dock Gallery in Lowell. Explore the vision of eight area fiber artists in an exhibit of work that uses of texture, color, line, and quilting to create a wide away of textile art.

Although all of the artists use fiber, each has developed her own unique voice and style ranging from the abstract to the representational. The artists achieve those goals through a variety of techniques, some beginning with hand-dyeing, printing, painting or even felting the fabric, while others using the evocative commercial fabrics available today.  All use machine stitching in their work but some add hand stitching as a design element.

The artists are members of a the SAQA, the international Studio Art Quilt Associates, formed a local critique group called Joined by a Stitch, and meet monthly to support each other in their work. The artists include Betsy Abbott of North Andover, Agusta Agustsson of Melrose, Tarja Cockell of North Andover, Sue Colozzi of Reading, Janis Doucette of North Reading, Anne Kimball of Lexington, Madalene Axford Murphy of Amesbury, and Alanna Nelson of Melrose.
