Storybook Realism: Jodi Edwards Wright
August 6 – November 15, 2025
Self-described, storybook realism blends the charm of children’s book illustrations with realistic, three dimensional embroidered animal masks in Jodi Edwards Wright’s work. Using only thread and water-soluble stabilizer, she builds intricate, textured sculptures that combine machine and hand embroidery techniques to mimic fur, feathers, and facial expressions. Inspired by illustrators like Beatrix Potter and her father’s love of nature, Wright’s work humanizes animals to foster empathy and environmental awareness. Her art not only honors the tradition of textile work but also aims to captivate audiences through its detail, whimsy, and emotional resonance.
