Embellished Notifications by Kate Lewis Saturday, May 17th through Sunday, June 22nd
Embellished Notifications by textile designer and fiber artist Kate Lewis offers an
analog interpretation of digital messages and notifications from various
apps, brands, and the outside world. Conceived as an “antidote to the news,” this series of work aims to capture the good feelings and happiness these digital messages offer, carrying those emotions and
momentary dopamine triggers into the future. “I thought about the relationship our phones have with brands, how we receive information digitally, and which brands and phrases exactly gave me that dopamine hit,” Kate says. “These notifications have become integral to our modern lives, with food deliveries, take-out, online dating, transport...” With a nod to traditional cross-stitch samplers, these colorful and slightly subversive hand-made works aim to lift your spirits and will look great in your kitchen.
Please join us Saturday, March 17th, between 4-7 PM for a conversation between Kate Lewis and curator, cultural journalist, and podcast host Emily McElwreath.
Hours & Contact Information:
Thursday through Sunday, 11 am- 6 pm
