The current exhibit at the Watkins Gallery on the Winona State University Campus is called Proximities created by Anne George. She gave a talk at the gallery last Wednesday, 11/30/2022. I was intrigued with her interest in this textile discovery that she made during COVID. She sits on the floor and puts the colorful yarn around her and chooses colors as she goes. She punches the yarn through from the back side requiring her to turn the frame often to look at the front of her art.
