Richard Killeaney and Deb Strano
March 11 to April 5
Opening and artist talk, “Quilts and Place” 3/21

Richard Killeaney was studied Studio Art at Hobart College and has a MFA in Textiles from the Rhode Island School of Design. He has taught textile design and clothing construction at various colleges including the Pratt Institute, Fairfield University, and RISD. His products incorporate beauty, comfort and social responsibility. These products consider aesthetics simultaneously as ideals such as recycling, organic fibers, and sustainability, creating objects that are as beautiful as they are considerate of the world.

The lecture will be titled “Quilts and Place” and will explain how Richard’s travel has inspired his quilt patterns.

Deb Strano has been working in fiber for 20 years now in addition to her work with metal. She has explored the techniques of shibori, batik and appliqué as well as the ancient art of gyutoku, fish printing on paper or fabric with an actual fish! These techniques may be incorporated in a single piece
