Stitching Time, Thread by Thread
Diane Sarr, a talented local artist, is set to showcase her contemporary quilting in the exhibition "A Stitch in Time" at Blakely Hall throughout April. Featuring bold, modern designs, Sarr's work is distinguished by subtle details that often go unnoticed, such as fragments of Washington State maps. She notes that viewers frequently miss these elements, which adds depth to her art. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking and further studies in London, Sarr has developed a rich artistic background that informs her unique approach. Her work explores the relationship between humanity and nature, often using maps to symbolize civilization's impact.
The public is encouraged to attend a gallery reception on April 6, 2025, to meet Sarr and engage with her creative process. This exhibition not only highlights her artistic journey but also invites viewers to appreciate the intricate stitching that binds her pieces together. Sarr’s commitment to mixed media art is evident, as she combines her design expertise with her passion for quilting.
