Homebound
Fiber Paintings by Kara Patrowicz

Wayside Gallery, April 28-August 22, 2021
Member Preview: April 24-25, 2021

Homebound captures the familiar interplay of daily activities, family life, technology and the COVID-19 pandemic. Kara Patrowicz blends fiber and painting techniques in depictions of everyday subjects, from chairs to iPad screens, parents and children to ultrasound imagery. In our "homebound" moment, these works embody Patrowicz's search for the sublime and sacred in the quiet rituals and mundane messes of parenthood.

Kara Patrowicz is a visual artist based in Maynard, MA. She has exhibited in Massachusetts, New York, Texas, Ireland, and recently in Switzerland through the Art Embassies program. She lived and worked in Dublin, Ireland as a Fulbright Grant recipient in Painting, and was a 2019 nominee for the St. Botolph Club Foundation Emerging Artist Award.
