Scherer to discuss her artwork in talk at Mitchell-Giddings

Wednesday, October 24, 2018 — Issue 482

BRATTLEBORO — Mitchell-Giddings Fine Arts will present an Artist Talk with Deidre Scherer on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 5 p.m.

Her current exhibit Human Textures will be up at MGFA through Nov. 18, showcasing the artist's paper and fabric weavings as well as collaborative vessels with artist Jackie Abrams.

Pioneering in the medium of thread-on-layered-fabric, Scherer's collages, both in fabric and paper media, engage the viewer “with the tenderness of being human,” according to a news release.

Scherer has exhibited in hundreds of shows since 1979, and has been featured in galleries nationwide including the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Heller Museum in NYC.

I am one of the invisible signees of the published letter. What surprises me about the response to our letter is that the means of expressing our concerns seems to be more important to this community than the message we tried to convey.
