Bonnie Sennott: Abstract Embroidery and Watercolors
An exhibition of recent abstract embroidery work and watercolors by Amherst artist Bonnie Sennott will be held September 2–30 at Easthampton City Arts Gallery, 43 Main Street, Easthampton, Massachusetts, with an opening reception on Friday, September 2, 5–8 pm. Hours: Wednesdays and Fridays, noon–2 pm, and Saturday, September 17, 10 am–noon.
Among the works shown will be A Year in Thread and Daily Thread, Sennott's two yearlong stitch journals, for which she embroidered every day using colors observed in nature. This show will be the first time these two projects have been exhibited together. Also on view: recent negative space embroideries exploring absence, loss, and the passing of time and recent abstract watercolors on the theme of "stones and water."
Sennott has shown her work locally in solo and group exhibitions at Northampton’s Center for the Arts, the Hosmer Gallery at Northampton's Forbes Library (2019, 2022), the Burnett Gallery/Jones Library in Amherst, Gallery A3, and #LOCAL Gallery. Her work has also been exhibited in shows at the Wistariahurst Museum, the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, and the Fitchburg Art Museum. A former member of Kingston Gallery in Boston, she holds an MFA from the University of Chicago.
