Perry Gross is a multimedia fiber artist based in Baltimore, specializing in weaving. In her show “Catharsis” she blends knowledge of working with natural and found materials and holistic medicine and juxtaposes that with the realities of the world that we live in. Her medium of choice, weaving, involves repetitive movements and long amounts of time spent meditating at a loom. This allows her time to work through her thoughts and emotions and find strength from within herself to push forward in a world that seems to not be built for those who inhabit it. Perry would like viewers to ponder the injustices of the world while also finding an escape in the beauty of the colors and forms.
