TOPSHAM — “Hidden Histories,” work by Sallie Findlay of Deer Isle, Karen Munson of Brunswick and Debra Spaulding of Bowdoinham, is on view at Maine Fiberarts, 13 Main St.
The public is invited to come view these abstract, naturally dyed and stitched figures and textile works through Aug. 31. A reception will be held on Sunday, July 28, from 2 to 5 p.m. and the artists will speak about their work for a total of 45 minutes starting at 2:30 p.m.
Munson is a minister with the United Methodist Church of Brunswick and combines a life of expressions in both art and faith.
With “Remnant I” and “Remnant II” — the pieces on view in this show — she fashioned cloth into works that speak about the dichotomy of “forgiving” and “unforgiving” fabrics and of piecing them into a cohesive whole.
Spaulding paints and stitches in Bowdoinham, where she and her husband, Dick, raise cattle, renovate homes and are building a new house that includes a grand studio. Debra has two quilts on view that depict “the intricate patterns and colors of organic matter and the natural patterns created by growth and surface degradation.”
