Grab a cup of coffee and join the artist in the gallery. Maggy Rozycki Hiltner will provide an in-depth discussion of her research and the symbolism accompanying each piece.
Hiltner creates textiles that focus on contemporary issues. She combs antique and thrift stores looking for source material, seeking hand-stitched linens and quilts. Her artwork may at first appear whimsical, but on closer inspection reveals a strong engagement with socio-political issues. She ties charged messages into and against the comfortable and innocuous medium of fabric and stitching. Her exhibition at MAM, "What Lies Beneath," brings these subtexts to light.
