Green Eileen Show Opening

May 6, 2016

1-OCAC

I attended the Green Eileen Exhibit opening at the Oregon College of Art and Craft on May 4th and was pleased to see how all of the other artists chose to use their Eileen Fisher garments. The pieces ranged from re-worked garments to figurines to quilts. I was struck by how Fisher’s iconic, neutral color palette remained a common thread throughout all of the work. It made for an elegant show.

Madeline Soich made a new “outfit” that incorporated metal and human hair.

Kyla Mucci took her garments and inserted them as the weft into a weaving that then became a new garment.

Molly Eno’s scrap quilt gave Fisher’s pristine clothing a distressed look.

She also made this ensemble, adding a metal element as well.

Amy Lund ran her garments through the paper pulping machine and made an equally elegant stack of paper. I loved this one, so simple and smart.

Melina Bishop used a single garment to make a lovely ink print. She displayed the inked garment along with her print. Really nice.

Megan Harris’ figurine was just plain fabulous.

Last, but not least, my circle quilt, Coordinates, looked great in the mix.

  • Olivia’s Library

    How can you not love a career librarian?

  • Clifton’s Ties and Shirts

    When it comes to making a memorial quilt from a man’s shirts and ties, I would say the majority of my clients opt to have them combined together within their quilt – not so with Clifton’s quilts.

  • Sam’s Pants

    Even though Sam’s mother Christine told me that Sam was a sharp dresser and loved to wear brightly colored pants, I was still surprised and thrilled when I lifted a whole collection of red pants out of the box she sent.
