Statement

"Most public art expresses an impersonal modernism, a false modernism. Works are filled with pattern without being specific about content. Many people are afraid of the 'personal' in art. I am not! All along I have known that with fiberart we were touching powerful materials! We need to show the unseen images and tell the unheard stories. Fiberart can connect the private and the public, the personal and the collective, the socio-political and the cultural."

Reviews

Virginia Hyvarinen, Cambridge, Massachusetts: "Mary Cain's work is about communication, and interaction. With her fiber objects, she darts like a dragonfly, swiftly from one topic to another, never hovering very long over any one spot. Her pieces are brilliant bits of beauty that speak for her, that leave pieces of herself and her feelings behind. She hopes that others will pick up the dialog of art, and continue it."

Judith S. Karon, Duluth, Minnesota: "Great display of your art! Thanks for sharing!"
