Where's My Hat?

 Where's My Hat?
 January 22 - March 1, 2025
Artists reflect on clothing or lack thereof in a variety of media. These two works were selected for the exhibition. They were part of "State of Vermont", a body of work that began with machine sewing scraps of old shirts onto topographical maps of  Vermont. I then put them through the monotype press. For each piece, the steps were repeated various times. In the process, I looked closely at the maps and noticed the playful, intimate nature of the names of places and geographical features.  We long for familiarity with the land adorning it with descriptions of a colloquial nature: "Grandpa Knob", and "Cozy Corner." It seems fitting to adorn maps with clothing - an apt metaphor for the intimacy with 'place' we continually seek
