SUMMARY:Gallery Talk + Card-Making Workshop with The Princeton Sankofa Stitchers Modern Quilt Guild
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 25\, from 1–3pm\, join us for a gallery talk\, followed by a Make + Take Card-Making Workshop. \nAbout the workshop:Attendees will use scraps of fabric to create a design on cardstock using glue and scissors. Take inspiration from all the beautiful quilts on display or dive right in with your own artistic vision. Open to participants of all ages from elementary school through adulthood. Elementary-aged children must attend with a guardian. No registration required — feel free to drop in. \nAbout the exhibition:\nTen Years of Threads: The Princeton Sankofa Stitchers Modern Quilt Guild’s Journey Through Fabric and History celebrates a decade of creativity\, storytelling\, and artistic expression through quilting. This exhibit features the work of guild members\, showcasing a rich variety of themes and textile art forms that reflect the unique voices and styles of each maker. \nThe collection highlights a wide range of fiber art techniques and includes narrative quilts\, political quilts\, nature-inspired works\, cultural quilts\, color studies\, quilted garments\, and memory quilts. Each piece demonstrates the power of fabric as both an artistic medium and a tool for preserving stories\, honoring heritage\, and expressing personal and collective experiences. \nTogether\, these works reflect the guild’s journey over the past ten years—woven with history\, culture\, innovation\, and community—while honoring the enduring tradition of quilting as both art and legacy. \nExhibiting Artists:\nMontika Allen-Atkinson\nMary Ellen Assue\nMartha Bates\nJanet Byard\nRachel D.K. Clark\nJoyce Clarke\nMada Coles Galloway\nSheila Colson\nJosie Dakers-Brathwaite\nTony Jean Dickerson\nPaulette File\nJuandamarie Gikandi\nTina Guthmann\nRonah S.

SUMMARY:Tales from the Disenchanted Forest
DESCRIPTION:Tales from the Disenchanted ForestBy Artists: Elizabeth Jordan & Terri FraserOn view: May 2 – 30Opening: Sat\, May 9 | 3-5pm \n\nJoint Artist Statement: \nArtists Terri Fraser and Elizabeth Jordan create visually distinct sculptural work grounded in a shared commitment to process\, material\, and the layered narratives that emerge through making. Frasers work moves toward an ethereal\, immersive interpretation of the natural world\, shaped by a practice rooted in the woods\, while Jordans is informed by an urban environment and grounded in the presence of individual animal forms. Both practices are rich in detail and guided by an attention to how systems hold—and fail—within the environment. Responding to the ongoing degradation of the natural world\, their work reflects a deep awareness of the reciprocal relationship between flora and fauna\, offering an experience that is both attentive and quietly unsettling. \nFraser constructs an immersive forest through layered materials drawn from the natural world and the remnants of human use. These elements are woven\, knotted\, and coiled into shifting forms that hold a restrained presence while remaining open\, skeletal\, and in flux. The installation unfolds through clusters\, clearings\, and suspended canopies\, creating shifting pathways that move around and through the work. Rather than replicating nature\, the forms register its strain—caught between growth and collapse\, structure and fragility—suggesting an ecosystem no longer in balance. \nJordan’s creatures emerge through a layered and material-driven process\, inhabiting a space between beauty and unease that reflects the shifting relationship between humans and animals. At times strange and not fully identifiable\, they communicate through gesture\, posture\, and surface—where cuts\, seams\, and scars hold traces of their making. Their presence suggests both memory and displacement\, as if once of the forest yet now shaped by a human world. In their stillness and outward gaze\, they hold a tension between what has been altered and what endures. \nThe juxtaposition of these two perspectives creates a space shaped by uncertainty\, beauty\, and quiet tension. Working from different relationships to the natural world\, Fraser and Jordan bring their practices into proximity\, where their differences generate a subtle but persistent dialogue. Within this exchange\, an intangible connection emerges—held in the vibration between past\, present\, and what might still be possible. The Disenchanted Forest does not resolve this tension\, but allows it to remain.
