Bobbi & Steve Meier
Threads

These weavings draw inspiration from Fred Rogers, host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, whose enduring legacy of kindness is embodied in the phrase, I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. This sentiment served as the foundation for our installation, Threads. Gary neighbors joined in a day-long activity using materials generously donated by the local community to collectively weave colorful abstract tapestries on large looms. Each individual contribution randomly intertwined with another. A collective work emerged as a vibrant symbol of what can be created when the community collaborates in shared creative spirit.
