Salley Mavor: Social Fabric
to
Upcountry History Museum Greenville, South Carolina
Wee Folk Studio
A needle, thread, and stitches are the tools Salley Mavor uses to create sculptural needlework by which to communicate her ideas and stories.
Award-winning fiber artist Salley Mavor uses sculptural needlework to create narratives of three-dimensional miniature stage sets with scenery, props and characters assembled on fabric backdrops in shadow boxes. Her "Social Fabric" exhibition explores cultural diversity, migration, fashion, the natural world, and a range of social connections from the everyday to topical subjects. Visitors can peek into imagined worlds full of characters and backdrops all stitched by hand and all focused on providing an opportunity to experience storytelling in a unique way.
