What becomes of the materials we leave behind? Two visionary Maine artists reimagine discarded and abandoned textiles, rubber, and other materials that surprise, delight, and inspire.

Mandana MacPherson and Crystal Cawley showcase an exhibition of unexpected garments and accessories. The ensembles that will walk the runway, made from materials the artists have collected and reconfigured, reflect the commitment of both artists to sustainability in materials and processes, and the honoring of traditional craft skills and techniques.

Mandana makes magic by weaving, knotting, looping, and knitting strips of discarded inner tubes, alone or in combination with other materials. She laces and rivets rubber pieces into handknitted wool garments and their unfinished component parts, creating richly surfaced and patterned wearable wonders.

Crystal uses letterpress and woodcut printing techniques on old textiles and paper to make engaging sculptural pieces that can be worn, sometimes. She embroiders by hand or machine to add a wide variety of surface embellishments to her printed and found materials.

Please wear your favorite vintage items to the event! Doors open at 6:00 PM and show starts at 6:30 sharp. Light refreshments before and after fashion show. Due to the configuration of the audience, late seating will not be permitted. Parking is limited, please carpool if possible.

October 16th - 18th and 23rd - 25th - entry from 6:30 - 7:30 pm
Sundays, October 19th and 26th - entry from 5:30 - 6:30 pm
