SCAC: Exhibition Reception & Artist Talk: Nurturing Growth with Nell Burns

Please join us to celebrate the opening of Nurturing Growth with Nell Burns.
Nurturing Growth is pod and cocoon inspired artwork that celebrates the intricate and fascinating structures that nature creates to protect and nourish life within them. From the hard shells of seed pods, acorns, and pine cones to the soft and silky cocoons of insects, these structures are not only functional, but also beautiful and inspirational.

“I essentially draw and paint with thread, using the needle as my pencil, and the fabric as my canvas. My artwork has always had sculptural elements, using fabrics and stabilizers to create 3D art. Currently I employ techniques to sculpt using only stitched thread.”
