Expecting: Exploring Fertility & Loss Thru Fiber Arts by Allison Murphy

In this video, Allison K Murphy presents her deeply personal and evocative fiber art series "Expecting: Exploring Fertility and Loss Through Fiber Art." Allison shares her journey into parenthood, creating pieces that translate her feelings and experiences into raw compositions. Using second-hand fabric, yarn, and picture frames, Allison’s work brings awareness to the challenges of fertility and miscarriage, aiming to foster empathy and solidarity. She discusses her love for whole-body processes and how communities such as Asmbly support her artistic endeavors.

This presentation is perfect for anyone interested in fiber art, personal storytelling through art, and raising awareness about issues they are passionate about.
