Exhibition: Common Thread by artist, Elizabeth Morisette
The ability to innovate the approach to artistry is what keeps work alive. Elizabeth Morisette continues to participate in transformative quilting workshops that refine their craft. Inspired by traditional log cabin techniques and the quilts of Gee’s Bend, they began experimenting with structure and storytelling through fabric. Amid current news coverage consumed by Morisette, certain repeated words sparked their creative process, influencing patterns, colors, and textures. The resulting collection, Common Thread reflects the connections that unite us, with recurring fabrics symbolizing our shared experiences. This exhibition invites viewers to explore the power of quilting as both art and narrative, weaving together themes of identity, history, and community. On view until May 3rd.
On display through Saturday, May 3, 2025
