Sarah
Hollis Perry employs handiwork skills associated with
women’s work – weaving, knitting, and sewing.
These were among the original recycling skills in earlier
households where clothes would be reconstructed inside
out, refreshed or re-sized for younger family members,
and rugs would be made from scraps of fabric and rags
no longer of other household use. In the armchair fashioned
from New York Times home delivery bags, subscribers
will immediately associate with the annoying problem
of what to do with an abundant supply of bags. Perry’s
chair is a reminder that earlier generations found multiple
uses for most everything that came into the home.
Sarah Hollis Perry has exhibited at the Mobius Gallery,
Boston, MA, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA Olin Arts
Center, Farmington, CT, and the Hammond Museum, North
Salem, NY, among other places. This is her first time
exhibiting in New York. Prior to concentrating on her
artwork, she was a research scientist and photographer
for the Polaroid Corporation. |
