New Exhibition Highlight

WOOLPUNK®: Sunflowers & Graffiti’d Sky in the Garden State

Created specifically for MAM, Sunflowers Graffiti’d Sky in the Garden State is based on a photograph of a community garden in the artist’s hometown of Jersey City, New Jersey. Printed on a large-scale banner, this image has been transformed through embroidery stitched by hand by the artist.

Using only recycled fabric, WOOLPUNK®’s mission is to draw attention to clothing waste and landfill issues in the state of New Jersey and beyond.

The featured image is just a small segment of the impressive 30 x 13 foot mural hanging in Laurie Art Stairway. Hidden within, are an array of pop culture references and text that WOOLPUNK® incorporated in not-so-plain sight. Spend an afternoon trying to uncover the rest, including MAM's logo.
