Mater Matrix Mother Medium is a process-based temporary art installation by Seattle Artist, Mandy Greer. The installation is a 300-foot long fiber river made of recycled yarns and fabrics crocheted by the community into the trees of that community. MMMM celebrates our creeks and watersheds and the communities that protect them. It invites you to slow down and talk with your neighbors while you work with your hands.
One element of this piece that makes it so unique is that it is not made solely behind studio doors. Artist Mandy Greer feels very strongly that this piece be made in and by the community where it is installed. This summer Mandy has already done a number of Crochet Workshops within the Issaquah community. You can become part of the river by joining Mandy on August 21 at the Issaquah Farmers Market for Community Crocheting from 10am – 2pm at the Pickering Barn. Crocheting experience is not necessary.
