Gathered Threads by Natalie Baxter

Gathered Threads is an exhibition of work by Wassaic, NY based artist Natalie Baxter at Peggy Mercury. The show features soft sculptures and quilted wall hangings created using skills Baxter learned from a long lineage of quilting women in her home state of Kentucky. Folding chairs and empty tables depicted in domestic fabrics act as an ode to the quiet tools of gathering. An over sized basket made from jeans, appliquéd open hands, and an apron camouflaged among playful bunnies and nuclear missiles reference the weight of domestic labor and the burdens we shoulder personally and share collectively.

Gathered Threads is up from March 28 - May 3, 2026 with an opening reception on Saturday March 28 from 4-6pm
