Marie Watt's work is included in Fabricated Imaginaries: Crafting Art, now on view at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University in Waltman, MA.
"Fabricated Imaginaries presents artworks that occupy a liminal space where art intertwines with craft traditions, design, and unconventional modes of creativity. The works assembled in the show, primarily drawn from the museum’s permanent collection, reflect diverse global perspectives but share commonalities: they challenge “fine arts” norms and enhance our understanding of the versatility, possibilities, and potential materiality of visual expression.
The metaphor of weaving—interlacing weft and warp—is central to the show, relating to the artworks as well as the artists' experiences and identities. Many of the artists identify with more than one culture and espouse multiple sites of belonging. And so, their creative expressions embody an intricate blend of heritage and modernity, offering powerful commentary on cultural hybridity, hyphenated identity markers, and innovative artistic amalgamations."
