Public Reception | Erika Torri: The Continuous Thread
June 11–July 16, 2022
Public Reception: Friday, June 17, 6:30–8:30 PM
On display will be approximately 40 of Erika’s textile pieces created in the late 1970s and 80s, along with a selection of artists’ books, portraits, publications and ephemera that represent Erika’s tenure at the library. The weavings are several narrative series that depict family, landscapes, travel and architecture. Exhibited widely in the 1980s, they have not been shown since Erika became Executive Director of the Athenaeum in 1989.
