CURRENT EXHIBIT

Interwoven: Fibers & Findings that Bind Community

Thayer Academy, Braintree, MA

February 6 - March 1, 2025

Interwoven: Fibers & Findings That Bind Community is an experiential exhibit that delves into the boundless possibilities of found materials, collaboration, and creative transformation. Rooted in the spirit of discovery, the showcase features artwork crafted from unexpected sources: scraps of 3D-printed filament, reclaimed wood from a gaga ball pit, discarded soccer and lacrosse nets, secondhand frames, and bits of scrap wool imbued with new life.


In an era where so much of our connection is mediated by screens, Interwoven explores the profound intersection of our technological present and our tactile past. It challenges the perceived divide between innovation and tradition, blending the digital with the organic to highlight the enduring importance of hands-on creativity.


This exhibit is a weaving together of innovation and tradition to create stronger, more meaningful bonds. It is both a celebration of the resources and talents within this community and an exploration of how art can spark new avenues for creativity, connection, and shared discovery.
 

Artist Statement:


As Thayer Academy’s Artist-in-Residence, I was inspired to create a unique body of work in response to my time here. Curiosity, connection, and the vibrancy of this community shaped each piece I crafted using found materials and scrap wool. Alongside this personal exploration, I wanted to celebrate the incredible resources, talent, and energy at Thayer while respecting the packed schedules of students and staff. This process became an invitation to pause, see familiar materials in new ways, and discover creativity and connection in unexpected places.


Together, students and staff joined me in crafting felt paintings displayed in rescued frames. Interwoven: Fibers & Findings that Bind Community is a collective narrative of renewal and ingenuity that weaves together the unique voices in each and every one of us.


"This body of work grew out of my own curiosity and my deep appreciation for the dynamic athletic department, creative faculty, and countless helping hands that make Thayer so special! Interwoven celebrates what’s already here—the materials, the people, and the stories—turning overlooked scraps into meaningful works of art and connection."
