Join us between 2 - 4 pm on Saturday, November 2, for a free public reception to meet and celebrate Dawn Zero Erickson and community participants in the “Threads That Bind” exhibit at the Red Wing Arts Depot Gallery, 418 Levee Street, Red Wing, MN.

Threads That Bind is a two-part project about remembrance and how we can memorialize those we have lost through death. Part one of Threads that Bind is a collection of printed textiles and stitched remembrance works of art by Dawn Zero Erickson. This collection of very personal textile pieces by Dawn are in memory of people from her life. In part two of the project, Dawn led community members through workshops of meaningful making to slow stitch a remembrance for someone they have lost through death, while learning and practicing new techniques. The collective stitched remembrance pieces in this exhibit bring beauty to the sadness.

Community participants:
Kris Anderson, Lori Cashman, David Einheber, Karen Ellingson, Bradley Erickson, Kirstin Erickson, Lisa Rydin Erickson, Catherine Fenner, Peg Hansen, Vicki Heschke, Sarah Honeywell, Susan Johnson, Joy Krajna, Kim Lampe, Paige Lampe, Clare Larkin , Mary Lura, Ruth Ann McLaughlin, Kasi Nelson, Verna Nickel, Shawn Niebeling, Hannah Quinn, Matt Quinn, Molly Quinn, Susan Richardson, Jeanna Sands, Trudi Schaefer, Kris Toegel, Ann Viveros, Ren Hai Yan

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
