Wassaic Project

EXTENDED BLURB! Now is when we need art to give us Deep Winter Warmth, and "A Space Between Worlds," currently on view at Wassaic Project through March 15, does this in many layers. Nine artists, seven floors, a historic grain mill converted into exhibition and studio spaces. Dana Robinson’s fabric sanctuary wraps you up; Mary Tooley Parker’s hooked tapestries pull you into her domestic scenes. Then Paolo Arao’s geometric weavings reshape your perspective. Regina Durante Jestrow’s quilts bend the landscapes of her hometown of Miami (a warmer place). Amira Pualwan's handwoven cotton and jacquard hanging pieces use vibrant reds, gentle oranges, peaches, and blues to evoke sunsets and flames, iconically cozy things. They all work together to take you to a "strange somewhere else between this world and another," somewhat like my interactive map here does, too, hopefully.
