Contemporary art quilt show is set at Johnson-Humrickhouse
The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum’ s exhibition of contemporary art quilts,“ Pushing the Surface,” will be open to the public on Saturday, May 17. The exhibition includes pieces made by artists with national and international recognition.
Although most works share the essential structural characteristics of a quilt— joining at least two layers of fiber with stitching— they break from tradition in their design methods. Surfaces may be pieced and patched as one finds in a traditional quilt, but they also may be painted, dyed, laser printed, appliquéd or fused. The techniques are as varied as the subject matter.
“ Pushing the Surface” presents an array of quilts. This is the 14th year the JHM has presented this biennial exhibit. The show is curated by Elisa and Roxanna Deadman and is sponsored by the Mary F. Taylor Family. The Ohio Arts Council also helped fund this event with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.
In addition to this exhibit, the museum’ s permanent collections are displayed in four additional galleries: Native American, Early Ohio, Progressive Ohio and Beyond Our Borders.
The museum is located at 300 N. Whitewoman St. in Historic Roscoe Village in Coshocton. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 4 p. m. and daily from noon to 4 p. m.
