Rutland Herald |Vermont artists’ ‘Lineages’: Insight into influences and inspirational forces

“Marcie Scudder’s spectacular “Coquelicots” makes a dramatic opening to the exhibition. A red gown of cut, folded and sewn photographs of poppies from her mother’s garden, flows down the gallery’s central staircase.

Scudder’s family history — her mother, Raisel was a Holocaust survivor — is central to her work, as is her mother’s perennial garden, a metaphor to Scudder for human resilience. Scudder photographs the blooms, then cuts, folds and sews flower-like shapes into garment-shaped compositions. Scudder notes influences including Japanese origami and installation artists Chiarhu Shiota and Jacob Hashimoto.”
