DEIDRE SCHERER: THREAD ON LAYERED FABRIC

Seeing fabric as fluid as paint, Scherer draws directly with scissors and sewing machine. Using a palette of cotton, linen and silk, she creates narrative work by cutting, layering, and machine stitching. This work interweaves many disciplines including painting, collage, portraiture, quilting, mosaic, stained glass, assemblage, craft and fine art.

"The detailed textures and pointillist patterning of cloth gives me the perfect vehicle to carry human elements that are complex and non-verbal. Focusing on the universal issues of life, aging and mortality, my figurative pieces start a dialogue that is essential to our lives."
