FEATURED WORK!
The Goddess Series by Judith Vierow
The Goddess Series by Judith Vierow
Judith Vierow, "Goddess of the Sky and Sea," 1995-6.
Judith Vierow
(1941 – 2022) lived in Columbus, Ohio, earned an MFA from The Ohio State University, and retired from the Columbus Metro Library. She was an avid weaver, quilter, batik maker, and painter.
The works on display were created by Vierow in the early 1990s.
Made from fabric scraps and embellished with embroidery, beadwork, and paint, her large “Goddess Series” quilts are figural, with most grounded by a large, darkened figure that represents Vierow’s sense of self. In her 1993 artist statement, Vierow states: "My work centers around recognizable images of the feminine goddesses if you will, that Jung would probably recognize as a search for the real self. I pursue, at my own pace, an interest in Buddhism, feminism, Jung, the "flow", and connection with the earth, our original mother, who has not ever forgotten us - we have forgotten her.
Throughout her life, Vierow’s contemporary quilts, batiks, and mixed media works were exhibited nationwide. We are grateful to Vierow’s family for donating a selection of her artwork and archives to the museum and sharing her vision with our visitors.
The Goddess Series: Art Quilts by Judith Vierow, on view from October 9 to December 22, 2024.
