Fabric and Mixed Media

Patricia Malarcher’s work has been described as “timeless,” “magic,” “provocative,” and “an intelligible and intelligent synthesis.” A piece starts with an investigation of materials and ends with discovery. Meaning accrues in the process of development, often through unexpected relationships of disparate elements.

 

Whether the end result is a wall hanging, a mixed media collage, or an artist book, consistent characteristics are pieced or modular units and stitched construction. Each body of work reflects the artist’s interest in bringing ingredients together that normally would never meet.
