Opening November 23, 2024 in the Alumni Gallery
Featuring recent works by Erin Daniels '93 (BFA in Textile Design), Garden of the Soul is a reflection of the artist's historical ties to both Philadelphia and Moore and explores her relationship to objects through the visual interpretation of her heritage.
As a third generation graduate of Moore College of Art & Design and the great granddaughter of a seamstress for the Mummers, Daniels has undeniable roots in Philadelphia's creative history. Her discerning eye for detail and love of color and pattern is equal parts heredity, education, and experience. Daniels has spent extensive time in Great Britain and Ireland—time that included a weaving apprenticeship in Scotland—and her travels within these cultural landscapes lends a unique perspective to her creative aesthetic. Daniels' embroidery work has been published in Vogue Living AU, she has been a guest lecturer at the Textile Study Group of New York in Manhattan, and she was featured on the television program “State of the Arts” broadcast by NJTV.
