This exhibition of new and existing work by Elsa María Meléndez (Caguas, PR 1974) explores the intersection of political and personal identity. Through large-scale fabric constructions, as well as small-scale dioramas that the artist calls “theaters”, the narrative spaces Meléndez creates tell stories that document the uncertainty one experiences while living in Puerto Rico, an “Island of Confusion.”

This series of 6-8 new sculptural quilt works by Coulter Fussell act as open-ended narrative vessels for stories of personal escape. The donated fabric leads the way in terms of story, but certain themes often recur: the physical labor of craft and the economic complexities of fabric use and production. Drawing from a childhood growing up in a river-town that owes its existence to cotton mills, Coulter Fussell is fascinated with the economic (and, in turn, human) relationship to the natural world.
