Trudi Shippenberg of Hartford is a master of American hooking, a folk art using fabric and canvas.
"American Hooking: A Connecticut Tradition" will open at the Textile Museum Shop, 2320 S St. NW Friday. The show, which runs till Oct. 31, focuses on the work of Trudi Shippenberg, a contemporary fiber artist who works wool and other assorted materials into vibrantly colored, textured panels.
The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art presents "Hooking: Folk Art to Fiber Art," on view through October 5, 2003. Rug hooking is neither an old-time craft, nor European in origin. Instead, it was a craft popularized in 19th-century North America by thrifty and imaginative homemakers to bring color and comfort to bare floors. Today, hooking remains popular, with some practitioners elevating it from the underfoot and utilitarian to a wall-gracing tapestry art form.
Hooking: Folk Art to Fiber Art, features 21 rugs from the collections of the museum and from private lenders. The historical part of the exhibition features rugs collected by Wallace Nutting, small mats produced by Grenfell Labrador Industries, and two WPA rugs, among others. The contemporary portion showcases original work by nine fiber artists living in the Northeast: Gail Dufresne of Lambertville, New Jersey; Liz Alpert Fay of Sandy Hook, Conn.; Judy Fresk of Glastonbury, Conn.; Peg Irish of Waquoit, Mass.; Emily Robertson of Falmouth, Mass.; Olga Rothschild of Duxbury, Mass.; Trudi Shippenberg of Hartford; and Patty Yoder of Tinmouth, Vermont. The exhibition is supported by the Costume & Textile Society of the Wadsworth Atheneum and the Mary Pope Cheney Exhibition Fund.
An exhibit of the work of four Connecticut artists can be seen through Aug. 29 at Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism's gallery, 755 Main St., Hartford. On display will be figurative sculptures by Steven Larson; fiber art by Trudi Shippenberg; prints and paintings by Nomi Silverman; and photography by Margaret Stewart.
