"You don’t know Southern women. And if a Southern woman gets depressed, she buys a skirt first!"

In the most recent Spruill Blog post, summer intern Skyler walks us through the sun-dyeing workshop she coordinated at Spruill Studios earlier this month. Peek into the process and meet the artist behind it all: https://spruillarts.org/sunlight-silks-a-workshop-to-reincarnate-your-clothes/

Creating with an eye for texture and depth, Spruill student Becky Parsons created this collage with folded paper — solid on one side, and patterned on the other. The patterned pieces were cut from an image of a quilt found in a magazine.

"I think it's interesting to look at the piece from different angles and get a different experience from each view."

You can see this piece in our current hallway exhibition!
