Artist: Pamela Becker. Statement: Using an ancient technique stitch by stitch, row after row the form slowly emerges. Each piece a record of the extraordinary amount of time involved in its creation. Here thoughts and experiences are reduced to elemental shapes and combined to produce an image. There is an interplay which occurs when pattern and color react and interact with each other that make form and pattern inseparable. Pattern is not only on the surface. It is the surface, an integral part of the form.

Statement: The Blizzard of 78 has remained a measurement pole against which all Nor’easter storms are compared to. Every time a bad one hits New England, the memories of the Blizzard of 78 are awoken. The Blizzard of 2013 shared some eerie similarities with the Blizzard of 1978 – similar wind strengths, high waves, and a development of an eye in the center of the storm. The piece translates wind, temperature and snow data from both storms.
