TWO EXHIBITIONS ON DYING AND DEATH
Scherer抯 thread-on-layered-fabric work focuses on the universal issues of age and mortality. By honoring the processes of aging and dying, her figurative images lift the invisibility that surrounds these subjects, starting a dialogue about death, and therefore about life, that is essential to our times. See: Surrounded by Family & Friends and The Last Year "Seeing fabric as fluid as paint, I create narrative work by cutting directly, layering, and machine-stitching.This work is inspired by 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."
