The exhibit, titled “Mending Hearts,” features a collection of tapestries created by Pollack. For the show, Pollack cut apart horizontal prints and stitched them together into new patterns. The work will be on display through September.
“Many of my pieces for this exhibit are inspired by the fundamental role women play as bearers of life,” Pollack said in a press release. “By arranging and multiplying the abstracted female forms and vessels in my prints, I suggest generations of knowledge and life experience, both individual and collective.”
Pollack is one of Art/Place’s co-chairs and is a curator for the Bruce Kershner Gallery at the Fairfield Public Library. She is also a co-founder of the Paper Works Collective, a group of papercraft artists based in Tucson, Ariz.
The Art/Place Gallery is located in the Watermark at 3030 Park Ave. on the Fairfield-Bridgeport border. The gallery is maintained by the Art/Place cooperative, a nonprofit group of Connecticut artists. Art/Place recently opened a second gallery in Fairfield Center at the Fairfield Theatre Company on Sanford Street.
Pollack will be on hand to talk about her work at an opening reception at the Watermark on Wednesday starting at 2 p.m. The reception will also feature light refreshments and entertainment by pianist Tony Procaccini.
Art/Place Gallery at The Watermark is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call The Watermark at 3030 Park at 203-374-5611.
