Artist Talk: Wednesday, March 30, 6:30-8:00pm.

To Merill Comeau, the cacophony and chaos of plant life parallels our shared human experience of coping with a complex and shifting environment. In her large-scale fabric interpretations of the natural world, she makes use of incongruous materials with past lives: artists' brush cleaning rags, a mother-in-law's blouse, cast-off sheets from the Salvation Army, plastic mesh bags from garlic bulbs, vintage linens, and colorful fabric samples. The complexity of the work is compelling from a distance, but also draws viewers closer to engage in the sensual surface.
