DEIDRE SCHERER: THREAD ON LAYERED FABRIC
"My fiber work focuses on the universal issues of age and mortality. By honoring the framework of aging and seeing death as a natural part of life, my figurative images lift the invisibility that surrounds these subjects. This work starts a dialogue that is essential to our times and supportive to all who are working or living in the field of great age. Using fabric and thread as my primary medium, I combine the techniques of cutting, piecing, layering, and machine-sewing to produce a rich, tactile surface. The classification of my work crosses the disciplines of craft, quilting, assemblage, collage and fine art."
