Speaking in Cloth: 6 Quilters, 6 Voices
– Work of Trisha Hassler and 5 other fiber artists continues .....
This national traveling quilt exhibit
offers the viewer to visually and intellectually enter the worlds of
six Northwest quilt artists. The six artists (Ann Johnston, Jeannette
DeNicolis Meyer, Cynthia Corbin, Nancy Erickson, Quinn Corum, Trisha
Hassler) invite you to respond to their use of cloth and thread as
they tell their stories and record their explorations. Each quilt
artist has found their own personal inspiration in a myriad of
sources, and each finds their own voice in manipulations of color,
fiber and form that express their unique perspective on life, places
and art. Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum

“Building on the Frame of My
Ancestors” -- Lillian Pitt
“Building on the Frame of My
Ancestors,” an exhibit featuring the work of Native American artist
Lillian Pitt, will open Thursday, Oct. 2, in The Gallery in the
Pinckney Center for the Arts on the
Central Oregon Community College
campus. Pitt has been exhibiting her contemporary sculpture,
carvings, masks, glass, wearable art, and works on paper for more
than 20 years. Tracing her roots to the indigenous people of the
Columbia River Gorge, she is called Wak'amu (Strongly Rooted) by
elders of the Warm Springs/Wasco and Yakama tribes.
“I use the ancient stories of my
ancestors as a basis for the imagery I create. By doing this, I
maintain the memory of our 10,000-year history in the Columbia River
Gorge and keep the beliefs of my people alive,” she says.
The exhibition will continue through
Nov. 7. Regular gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through
Friday. For information, call 383-7514.
