Loom August 28th—September 27th Basic in construction, yet intricate in output—looms are the apparatus that brings Liv Pedersen’s narratives to life. Pedersen has woven whimsical scenes based on her experience and vivid imagination. Scenes of family outings, home life, leisure activities, work, travel, her Danish heritage and even the occasional troll are reoccurring motifs that offer us a glimpse of the artist’s life. 2 Events
