Beyond Networks: Work by New Image Artists at Brentwood Arts Center
Beyond Networks: Work by The New Image Artists
Curated by Mary Welch Higgins
November 4, 2024 – January 4, 2025
Brentwood Arts Center, Brentwood, MD
New Image Artists is a group of professional fiber and mix media artists who have been exhibiting together and individually for over 40 years. They are trailblazers and innovators working in a medium that has only recently gained solid support from the leading institutions in the art world. While each artist has her own studio process and conceptual aims, they are united by their dedication to their art and a creative camaraderie which has grown over years of meeting and exhibiting together.
This group exhibit, Beyond Networks, highlights work by New Images Artists that explores the meaning of networks and is intended to draw attention to how the processes inherent in the creation of textile art as well as the “encoding of meaning” have been mirrored in the invention and development of digital social networks.

Herbal Remedy by Joan Dreyer, 2022
In 2022, legal access to abortion in the United States became more limited for the first time in decades. “Herbal Remedy” portrays herbs and plants that have been used to induce abortions. While beautiful to look at, there is a high risk of morbidity and mortality when these herbs and plants are ingested. The consequences of ingestion included organ failure, poisoning and even death. “Herbal Remedy” is a testament to our cultural and global indifference to women’s suffering.
