Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural, Homage to Redwork by Nancy Crasco, is an art quilt inspired by the redwork embroidery style of the early 20th century. The nine linoleum prints depict wildflowers currently on the endangered or threatened list in Massachusetts.
Crasco is a fiber artist, and her work is particularly influenced by Asian textile traditions and their construction techniques, including Japanese kesa and Korean pojagi.
