Dayenu: My Upcoming Exhibition

With the greatest pleasure, I invite you to come to Brew House Arts for my one-woman exhibition: Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough. The exhibit will run from July 16th through September 5th, with the opening reception on Thursday, the 16th from 6:30-8:30.

DAYENU: It Would Have Been Enough , is a completely new body of work encapsulating quilting as my vehicle for life-learning. I echo the organizational system generated in A Patchwork Life, using the 14 letters in its title as an acrostic guide to craft fourteen original fiber works. I assigned each letter a transcendent Kabbalistic concept that then employed a collection of materials, a quilt pattern, and the appropriate stitching techniques. 

Toward the end of the Passover Seder, we sing the song Dayenu / It Would Have Been Enough. Each verse of the song lists a separate miracle and concludes with Dayenu, affirming that the event deserves profound gratitude because it, on its own, would have been enough. For this exhibitioneach quilt is a worthy Dayenu.

Pittsburgh-based fiber artist, Louise Silk, creates art that combines aesthetics and functionality with meaning and memories. From the influence of a 1972 MS Magazine article to the current SILKDENIM label, her quilt experiences culminate in a display of her particular capacity to use her patchwork skills to piece together just about anything into an aesthetic meaningful whole.

  2. Look forward to seeing it and you. Sorry the particular reading date didn’t work out for Jude. She was originally going to end chemo in May, then the oncologist decided to just keep her on until November which would be a total run for a year. So the particular date just couldn’t happen. Do you realize we have not had a phone call with each other since the very long one we had months and months ago? DUH. Hope all is well with you, Steve and the extended family…
