Item Description
Title & Artist: "Scales and Purls" – by Emma Oliver
Medium & Size: Mixed media on wood. 21 7/8" L x 8 5/8" H x 3/4" D. For indoor display only.
Artist Statement: Knitting and crochet are nontraditional methods of creating art. Typically a craft, fiber work has evolved to become a method of art-making with a rich history, as the codfish has in Marblehead. This piece was crafted to reflect both the history of the cod and the history of fiber art. In our hometown, codfish are typically golden, but not this one. This one is soft and lovable, creating different kinds of tones regarding value and prestige.
Artist Biography: Emma Oliver is a student at the School of Art and Design at Alfred University in upstate New York. She likes to break boundaries with the use of material in artwork, and also to skate on thin ice in terms of subject matter. After college, she hopes to continue her art career as well as embark on a new one as an art educator.
Hosting Business: "Scales and Purls" is on display at Abbot Public Library, 235 Pleasant St., Marblehead, MA. On July 1, this cod will be moved to the Unitarian Universalist Church, 28 Mugford St., Marblehead, MA.
