The Thread Whisperers (Ana Sumner, Debbie Herbst, Shirley Perryman, Mary Ritter)
spent a hectic day hanging our show at Page-Walker Art Gallery and History Center in Cary, North Carolina today. After all the hard work, we agree that the pieces make for a lovely sight. Here are some gallery shots, quickly taken so not perfect photography, of the lower and upper galleries. The first slide show is the lower gallery which showcases FABRICATED STRUCTURES of primarily the man-made variety.

Gallery Statement: The Thread Whisperers have challenged themselves to depict organic and inorganic structures in their fabric art. From the dramatic to the subtle, this exhibit will reflect the spirits of Debbie Herbst, Shirley Perryman, Mary Ritter and Ana Sumner through their anthologies of fabric, thread, embellishment and machine and/or hand quilting. View the beauty of all that surrounds us – skylines, buildings, landscapes and nature – focusing your vision through their unique perspectives.
