Felted Gardens

By Erma Martin Yost

Felted Gardens-Erma Martin Yost presents 20 art works included in Yost's 2016 solo exhibition at Noho M55 Gallery in New York, NY. The hand-felted, resist-dyed, and stitched constructions evoke symbolic forms inspired by nature. These poetic metaphors reflect repeating patterns of planting, cultivating, harvesting-then lying dormant-only to rejuvenate and repeat the cycle again and again. Lois Martin writes, "Because of their quiet liveliness, Erma Martin Yost's multi-layered fabric compositions almost seem to need to be watched rather than looked at. Like a glimpse of a forest out a window, or of a garden behind a gate, they play with geometric pattern against a kind of botanical profusion, and repay continual re-inspection, as nuances reveal themselves." The 52-page catalog is a record of Yost's complex and patient methods with a reverence for fine craft.
