Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough – Opening Reception
Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough, is a solo exhibition by Pittsburgh fiber-artist Louise Silk. Following up from her landmark retrospective at the Heinz History Center in 2024, Dayenu is a career capstone exhibition featuring an all-new body of work being shown together for the first time. The exhibition features hand-sewn works, including art quilts, scrap quilts, flags, kaftans, portraits, and pillows, all made from repurposed fabrics. By working with both her own scraps and found textiles, Silk “brings together separate events and recollections that all contribute to a meaningful visual expression of my life.”
There will be an opening reception on Thursday, July 16, from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. The reception is open to the public and free to attend. Louise Silk will be performing an opening ritual throughout the reception, unmaking her work Witness and gifting patchwork pieces to gallery visitors.
