The show is aptly named, Women’s Work, not just because the artists involved are women, but because their use of materials and media incorporates things often associated with “feminine” arts.  They stitch, sew and piece their work together, using the stuff of memories, both their own and the collected mementos of others.  Although they differ aesthetically, each of the artists uses materials and images in
such a way as to trigger a chain reaction of associations and meanings on the part of the viewer.  The works are eerily engaging and have an element of being intensely personal.  Crafts and objects from the past create a poignant discourse about the present.
