Deidre Scherer 1944 —

"Over the span of three years, I have nurtured this life-scale piece. Using scissors and machine, I approach the human figure through intricately piecing, layering and drawing with stitching. The rich patterns of printed material attract me for their pointillist qualities and how the eye is engaged. This piece reveals an intensely packed, intertwined group. Not everyone sees the same figures and many see variations in meaning. For me, fabric has become the perfect vehicle with which to narrate what is multifaceted, often non-verbal and invisible in the human experience."

Born in New York City, the artist studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design. She now lives and works in Vermont.

Seeing fabric as fluid as paint, Scherer draws directly with scissors and sewing machine. Using a palette of cotton, linen and silk, she creates narrative work by cutting, layering, and machine stitching. This work interweaves many disciplines including painting, collage, portraiture, quilting, mosaic, stained glass, assemblage, craft and fine art.

Selected exhibitions include: Museum of Fine Arts; Springfield MA; Baltimore Museum of Art MD; Brattleboro Museum of Art Center, VT.
