The University of Alabama department of art and art history is proud to present the Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition of Sarah Dittmann, Stitched Together, March 6-27, 2021, at Aaron Sanders Head Studio, 1310 Main Street, Greensboro, Alabama. A reception for the artist will be held Saturday, March 6 from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. The studio will be open for visitors every Saturday in March from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Sarah Dittmann, a graduate student in printmaking, will exhibit a body of work that combines her family research and the traditional sewing arts of her female ancestors. The central piece of the show of nine quilts – a 10 x 10-foot diamond-shaped quilt – is made up of many cyanotype photos of Dittmann’s female ancestors, along with her own photo on fabric. The portraits together make up the shape of the Czech symbol for “ancestor.” The purpose of this work, she said, is “to have a personal conversation about the effect of the patriarchy on the family history.” Read more about Dittmann's work here.  

The Aaron Sanders Head Studio, located at 1310 Main Street, Greensboro, Alabama, is open every Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All visitors to the studio gallery must wear masks.
