Shari Urquhart: Selections from the Fuzzy Museum and other warm worlds

Suspended Judgement, 1983, Persian wool, satin, rattail, metallic, mohair, angora fibers, 78 x 107 inches

Shari Urquhart produced visual narratives from candy-like yarns that seem to glow. Each piece presents sensual fields that we can easily get lost in, absorbing each story as it slowly unfurls. The colorful works are made from fibers of wools, rayons, angoras, mohairs, metallics, fake fur, plastic and even Urquhart’s own dog’s hair. Each of her tapestries exhibits a brevity of controlled execution, awareness of composition that is meticulously constructed, making each piece monumental.
