The Boston Center for the Arts is pleased to present a survey of Anna Von Mertens’ recent work, GOLD! AND OTHER FALLEN EMPIRES, curated by Kirsten Swenson. Typical of Von Mertens’ process, each of the three distinct series represented in the exhibition explores an avenue of history, taking a set of data that the artist then interprets into the subjective through the format of hand-stitching.

Create you own small, one-of-a-kind quilt by hand! Explore basic improvisation quilting techniques surrounded by artist Anna Von Mertens’ ethereal hand-stitched quilts. We will explore a range of surface design methods, use an ‘invisible baste’ to attach our layers to each other, then add decorative stitches. As a starting point, fabric provides so many ideas that it is the perfect medium for anyone who loves cloth or who is intimidated by a bare canvas.
