Strong Silent Type 2016

"Strong Silent Type" is a 2016 work by Harriet Bart. The work consists of fourteen black felt pieces mounted on a wall, each one a geometric abstract shape with a subtle reference to clothing patterns. Bart's work has an element of humor, in that the wall-mounted felt pieces are reminiscent of a tailor's scraps, making the viewer consider both the art and the practical use of the materials. The work is a continuation of Bart's ongoing exploration of color, shape, and the process of cutting and sewing.
