ROOTED + LAYERED Artist Interview Series #3 w/ Quiltmaker Catherine Sherman―spreading hope, conversation + healing through art

Episode Three of the ROOTED + LAYERED Artist Interview Series features local quiltmaker Catherine Sherman.

HUNT & GATHER is a seasonal art gallery, pop-up shop, and design studio in the Inner Sunset District of San Francisco. We host four art shows per year, and this fall, we bring you ROOTED + LAYERED, an abstract collection of work exploring the layers and depth of our imagination through shapes and colors found in nature and the world around us.

Curated by me, DeeDee Hunt, this show features seven local artists. Our guest on today's episode is Catherine Sherman, who is making the world a better place, one piece of fabric at a time.

Catherine Sherman is a quiltmaker, conceptual artist, and teaching artist who uses her art to spread hope, inspire conversation, and promote healing. She says her quilts are like time capsules, vessels for stories that move through time and place.

She personifies fabric in such a way she's like the Fabric Whisperer. She even practices an ancient ritual of tearing fabric as a grieving practice and recommends we all try it.

Whether you are familiar with the art of quiltmaking or not, this is an episode you don't want to miss. Nate and I have a new understanding and appreciation for the fascinating world of quiltmaking. Listen to this episode and feel inspired and hopeful.
