Erin Miller, SK O’Brien, Lisa Kriner - Reconstructing the Sense of Self

The fiber-based art of SK, Lisa, and Erin explores the embodied female experience surrounding the processes of disruptive change. SK’s work explores redefining the sense of self that is challenged when medical treatment mutilates the body. Lisa's woven tapestries explore the changes in a woman’s body during menopause (naturally and medically induced) with a particular interest in hot flashes and their extremes. Erin’s work explores the tumultuousness of girlhood to womanhood, and the external causes of a fractured internal self as a result. Together their work engages both the range of experiences and the threads that connect them.
