The artist’s new body of work features textile-based “shrines” to the country’s often-overlooked heroes.
Claire Oliver Gallery in New York has announced the opening of a debut solo exhibition by American artist Carolyn Mazloomi, titled Whole Cloth: Narratives in Black and White.
Based in Ohio, Mazloomi is, among other things, an author, curator, art historian, aerospace engineer, and quilter. From her many pursuits, her creative work with textiles is, arguably, what she is best known for. In 1986, she helped to found the Women of Color Quilters Network, and since that time she has produced many acclaimed works of art through the medium.
