Patience Corners, Catherine Reinhart

Patience Corners is part of Catherine Reinhart’s Carrie Hall project, a series of works inspired by the collection of 850 quilt blocks by Carrie Hall at the Spencer Museum. After viewing this collection and researching the life of dressmaker, quilter, lecturer, and collector Carrie Hall, Reinhart created contemporary fiber works and paper collages influenced by Hall’s experiences. The title suggests that patience can be a place that is shaped like a corner. Reinhart discovered Hall’s quilt blocks while she was assisting visiting artists Ann Hamilton and Cynthia Schira in their creation of the Spencer exhibition An Errant Line: Ann Hamilton & Cynthia Schira (2013).
