UPCOMING EXHIBITION: April 26, 2024-May 25, Group exhibition, "Six Pathways", Patti Harris, Marie Hassett, Joyce Hill, Beth Pedersen, Deborah Stewart and Ann Stievater, link.
Marie Hassett (American, 20th C.- )
Artist Statement:
Using birds as representatives of nature my work explores our relationship to the natural world and our attempts to find order and meaning in nature. Just as a sky filled with birds in flight can create patterns and rhythms, a repeated stitch can form an unexpected orderliness. Birds can provide a window into another world where we may see something in a new way.
Each piece is hand stitched and embroidered using silk and cotton floss combined with new and repurposed fabrics, handmade papers and found objects.
