ARCHIVAL PRINTSIn Thought (above) is currently on exhibit at the Mulvane Art Museum in Topeka, KS. Many of Scherer's thread-on-fabric works are reproduced as custom-made prints including images of positive aging, elderly hands and end-of-life such as Open Window (on left).

TWO EXHIBITIONS ON DYING AND DEATHScherer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." |
