Allegra Kuhn: “art and design, fiber and handwork, have always had a presence in my life. I’ve experimented with most fiber processes, but tend to be drawn to those that may not be as ‘current’ or fashionable. My interest in traditional rug hooking or hooking with wool grew out of a part time job in the industry.
"Heart Work" Hooked rugs by Judy Mayhew Wylie, Small Quilts by Michael R. Stevenson, Holiday Gifts by Members
The exhibition includes 62 works of art by 22 Maine artists who have created unusual and remarkable pieces resembling and moving far away from traditional book structures.
