TheArt Center, in collaboration with the New Hampshire Art Association, is proudto present Emotions,Captured in Fabric, a compelling solo exhibition by award-winningfabric artist Nancy Morgan. The show opens May 12 and will run through the end of June.
Emotion— characterized by intense mental activity and a spectrum of feelings fromdespair to solace — is the central theme of Morgan's exhibition. Through apowerful series of monochromatic fabric art quilts, Morgan explores the depthsof human emotion inspired by life-size female statues in historic Europeancemeteries. Each piece is titled to reflect the emotional state she perceivesin the figure, capturing a moment of inner truth and vulnerability.
"From Despair to Solace, emotions can purvey a strength offeeling; a warmth of feeling," says Morgan.
Aself-taught artist with a graphic design and sewing background, Morgan hasdeveloped a distinctive style of free-motion quilting that combines technicalprecision with emotional depth. Using her sewing machine like a paintbrush, shelayers fabric, thread, and tulle to create textured, evocative works thatinvite reflection. Her unique monochromatic technique incorporates variousshades of tulle to create dimension and bring her subjects to life, allowing theraw emotion to take center stage without the distraction of color.
NancyMorgan's fabric artworks are part of private collections across the UnitedStates. They have earned recognition in the fine art and textile artcommunities for their innovation and exceptional detail.
