FAR

Pandemic Portraits is a new series made entirely in quarantine by local embroidery artist Ileana Haberman.

Finding and stitching patterns from the natural world provided meditative calm amidst the chaos of the pandemic. Ileana has combined many motifs encountered on hikes (as well as some dreamed up on the couch) with nude bodies as a way to find safety and set intentions in a languid time of fear and loneliness.

On view in the atrium at FAR Center for Contemporary Arts during our regular open hours (Tues - Fri 11am to 5pm) and for Gallery Walk on Friday, August 6th from 5pm to 8pm.
