    Mary McFerran
    Weather Wear
    Using assemblage and sewing techniques, McFerran constructs fiber pieces that alert viewers to the extreme weather conditions now frequently headlined in news stories. “In my art works I explore the human scale of climate change by designing facsimile clothing dedicated to topics of flooding, drought, hurricanes and fire. I aim to call attention to the vulnerability of our environment, but also celebrate the life force of Earth.”

  • Quarantine Quilts

    Quarantine Quilts

    "Quarantine Quilts"/ by Mary McFerran will be on display
    March 4- 27, 2022
    at Mahopac Library, 3rd floor gallery, during library hours
    668 Route Six Mahopac, NY 10541

    During the early days of the 2020 Pandemic, when the weather was dark and cold, McFerran started to create quilts. Her quilts are not formally planned- she does not use historic patterns. She combines elements intuitively and relies on the haptic appeal of selected textiles. The subject matter is personal memory and McFerran thinks of the collection as Memory Maps. As Spring turned into summer, political unrest also found its way into her work.
