I will be exhibiting primary fiber pieces, hair embroideries, psychological clothing, and embroidered work on motherhood. In addition to the gallery talk, I will also be giving a more comprehensive artist lecture, entitled "Without Skin", on Thursday, November 16th at 4:45 - 6 pm in Houghton House 112.



November 17 through December 15, 2017
Reception: Friday, November 17 | 6 - 8 p.m.
Gallery talk at 6:30 p.m.
(Gallery closed November 22-26)
Thread Bare is an exhibition of selected works by artist Kate Kretz. Through her use of traditionally feminized mediums, such as embroidery and sewing, Kretz engages with the theme of female identity formation as both lived experience and ideological construct. Addressing the subjects of maternity and aging in particular, Thread Bare sheds light on the aspects of female experience often deemed too "messy" or "ugly" for public consumption.
