There is a restlessness and a type of creativity that arises from confinement and isolation. This exhibition speaks to being physically or mentally enclosed; where longing for freedom starts to take over one’s mind, leading to moments of introspection and often delightful serendipity. Cabin Fever is on view from January 23rd through February 16th, 2025 at The Kittery Art Association.
Opening Reception: Sunday, January 26th from 5-7pm.
Also on View: Works by Spotlight Artist Nancy Morgan
Nancy Morgan: “I am a fabric artist and have been perfecting my art for the past twenty years. When I started this journey there was no doubt what my subject matter would be. I was born and raised here in the Seacoast and have seen the countless changes that have occurred. I thought I truly knew and appreciated every aspect of the cities and towns, the rivers, mountains, and sea. But once I decided to capture these scenes in fabric, it was like a filter had been removed from my eyes, everything became clearer and brighter, the details more distinct. Suddenly I am seeing these familiar scenes in new ways. I then translate this fresh image into a piece of art utilizing fabric, thread, and tulle, so others can have the opportunity to view the scenes in the same way that I do. When I look around, I see a street full of vibrant colors, steeped in the history of the seacoast. I see the peaceful calm waters and intimate settings. These are all scenes that I have known for my entire life, but now I am really seeing them, as for the first time. And when I begin to see things as they really are, not as I ‘know’ they are, my work becomes more intimate.”
