Comfort in the Familiar

Favorites From the Permanent Collection
November 4, 2020 - January 31, 2021

This exhibit features some much-loved favorites from our Permanent Collection, many of which have been seen before.  It also includes some special recent acquisitions to the Collection such as the White Linen Coat designed, made and worn by Sara Joyce and Ashley, a flamboyant East African Grey Crane by Linda Fyeldsted Blust - both pieces previously exhibited here and later generously donated by the artist or family to our collection.

You can study a beautiful cigar silk quilt (pictured above,) an unusual crazy quilt, an ikat robe and a woven coverlet, c.1830, among many other pieces. We've also included some utility quilts which don't often make it into exhibits.  Our curator particularly enjoys the Pinapple Log Cabin quilt hanging on the landing.

Journeys

High Fiber Diet: Fiber Artists of
Oregon and SW Washington

October 28, 2020 - January 31, 2021

Miriam Webster defines Journey(s):
1. Something suggesting travel or passage from one place to another: the journey from youth to maturity or a journey through time.
2. An act or instance of traveling from one place to another: a trip, a three-day journey, going on a long journey.
3. Often used figuratively: the journey from innocence to experience; a journey through time; a spiritual journey.


Life takes us on many journeys. Sometimes they open new opportunities; sometimes they bring challenges. Artists were invited to share something about their personal journey: maybe a special travel adventure, a walk in the park, or that motorhome trip across the USA. Perhaps the journey is through the stages of life – youth, work, family, aging. Maybe the journey involves internal growth, creative growth, personal growth. Or the artist may document a journey of migration, or cultural changes from old to new.
We are all on the journey of our lives. 2020 has been a challenging year, and everyone is journeying into unchartered waters. At times like these, art is so important. We hope you enjoy the journeys interpreted by the artists of High Fiber Diet. Perhaps they will inspire you to consider your own journeys and to dream about journeys still to come.
