Fabricated Self
Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce
21 West Mountain Street #300, FayettevilleNovember 9, 2023 - February 20, 2024
Reception February 8, 2024 at 3pm at Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce
Fabricated Self unveils Mary Griffith's textile collages, each a unique amalgamation of fabrics sourced from diverse origins—some known, some unknown. These collages serve as metaphors for the intricate layering inherent in human identity. Griffith skillfully arranges these textiles to weave cohesive narratives that extend beyond individual stories, much like piecing together puzzles to unveil larger, unified tableaus.
Each piece within this exhibition mirrors the human experience of “accumulating hallmarks of identity.” Mary Griffith's works embody this process, serving as an accumulation of textiles carefully arranged before unveiling them to the public eye. Like the careful curation of personal experiences and traits that form an individual's identity, Griffith's collages showcase various textiles, meticulously arranged to evoke a range of visual narratives. -

Bits and Pieces Make a Whole
Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce
21 West Mountain Street #300, FayettevilleJune 13 - August 29, 2022
We inherit many things from those we grow up amongst–from physical looks to meaningful objects passed down from generation to generation. But beyond these tangible inheritances are more intangible ones. During our formative years we also absorb certain traits, beliefs, or narratives from those around us. However, these things do not determine who we become. What we do with these inheritances remains in our hands. Bits and Pieces Make a Whole is a bold exploration of the act of repurposing our past and reimagining our future.
