STUFFED – Opening reception 10/4/24

FRIEDAcommunity is proud to host STUFFED, a collaborative exhibition realized by P. W. Prichett which explores the playful intersection of imagination and craftsmanship.

Join us and the artist on Friday, October 4, First Friday, during the opening reception from 6pm to 8pm.

 

STUFFED is a collaborative exhibition by artist Pamela Prichett and Thomas Steinborn, who together explored the playful intersection of imagination and craftsmanship. This year-long project began as a drawing game between Pam, based in New York, and Thomas, in Philadelphia. As they sent their drawings back and forth via the USPS, each of them added ideas and revisions. 

Based on the drawings, Pam brought 8 stuffed dolls to life, using a variety of fabrics and sewing techniques. The diverse colors and textures of the materials helped to express each individual character’s personality.

The exhibition presented at FRIEDA is not the end point, but a step in an ongoing, open collaboration with the public. The essence of STUFFED lies in its celebration of play and imagination. Visitors are invited to actively participate by giving identities to the dolls and creating narratives for them.

Let’s have fun and play!
