Paula Kovarik: Stitched Dissent

Through the medium of cloth and stitch, quilts can tell stories, protest injustice and document history. Paula Kovarik quilts in order to piece, layer, and stitch a narrative that represents her concern for what is going on in our country. Her art reflects American anxiety in a world of danger and distrust. It mirrors the ominous overtones of decisions disconnected from everyday life and the feeling that we are helpless in the wake of unmoored leadership. This body of work adds to the fundamental conversation going on in our media, our families, and our government. Artists’ Reception: Friday, January 17, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
