Center Exhibition: Geometrics by Heather Kelly
On view: September 1 – October 2, 2022
Shop Maine Craft presents Geometrics, a Center for Maine Craft exhibition of modern string art by Heather Kelly of South Portland, Maine.
Drawing inspiration from the natural world and sacred geometry, artist Heather Kelly has taken the old craft of string art and elevated it into a modern and captivating body of work. From the intricate design of a sunflower’s center to the spiral of a pinecone, she is drawn to the connection we have to patterns found in the natural world, the cosmos, and in our bodies. Made with reclaimed barn boards, painted patterns, nails, and adornments of intricately woven thread and wire, Heather Kelly’s solo exhibition of geometric wall art is on view at the Center for Maine Craft through Sunday, October 2, 2022.
The Center for Maine Craft is a retail gallery presenting and promoting over 300 artist-members of the Maine Crafts Association. One of two unique retail locations operated by Shop Maine Craft, the Center displays fine handcrafted objects ranging from traditional to contemporary; from thoughtful home goods to collectors items. Open year-round, the Center is uniquely located in the West Gardiner service plaza and serves as the welcome visitor center of Central Maine.
