Jane Kenyon and McKenna Prather, 2022

Jane Kenyon and McKenna Prather

CLOSING RECEPTION: Thurs March 31, 5-8pm Join us for a closing reception to see what the artists have been working on for the month and meet them in person.

Jane Kenyon and McKenna Prather, two artists working in different ways with fibre/mixed media, will be exploring the ways in which materiality and technique can be used to express ideas about the body, nature, the environment, and emotion.

We are slowly emerging from one of the most difficult periods in our history. The emotional and physical toll on us as individuals and communities has been extensive, and healing will be long and hard. Our internal and external landscapes have changed dramatically and many of us continue to feel fear and anxiety around what life will feel like in the future.  Creative pursuits, small or large, can be valuable activities in developing confidence, mindfulness, and connection. Stitching groups such as quilting bees and “Stitch ‘n Bitch” tend to be small and friendly – a good place to gently re-emerge into the world. Please drop-in for hand-stitching and conversation any time between 10am-6pm, Thursday-Saturday. New or beginning stitchers, artists, crafters, children - everyone welcome; needles, thread, and recycled fabric will be supplied as needed.

At the end of the month, the pieces created at Sparrow Artspace will be displayed together as an installation.
