Sandler Hudson Gallery is pleased to announce the latest body of work from Pennsylvania artist Caroline Lathan-Stiefel entitled Pieces. The act of making, and process of “piecing” is central to Lathan-Stiefel’s current exhibition. “Piecing” for Caroline Lathan-Stiefel is a conceptually and culturally rich methodology; through the intimate and time-consuming act of cutting and hand-sewing, each stitch becomes important in its own right. Every stitch is thoughtfully handsewn by the artist, each marginally different than the next, and all mark the passage of time taken to complete the work. Her finished works are textile structures covered with sewn assemblages of fabric, plastic, wire, and found objects. Always experimenting with craft materials in new and unusual ways, she draws both inspiration and materials from her daily life.
