helga winter: quietly becoming (receiving blankets for grown ups)

Aurora Loop Gallery is excited to present helga winter: quietly becoming (receiving blankets for grown ups) Helga Winter uses new and repurposed textiles, collected from friends, family and thrift shops. Some are eco printed and dyed, others plain. Often, she combines layers of fabric, that are connected through stitch. The surfaces are filled with old and new meaning. Each piece encourages the viewer to take another look at the stories they tell about themselves and others. (Click images to view larger slideshow.)
