Stretched Marker (woven silk yardage), by Liz Collins, in the “current “Stretching Boundaries’,’ show at the Addison Museum of American at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass.

The gallery says:

“An extraordinary collection of antique maps at Phillips Academy, dating from the Age of Discovery, has brought together six diverse artists who were invited to view, study and interact with the documents and create works in response to them. The artists — Sonny Assu, Andrea Chung, Liz Collins, Spencer Finch, Josh T. Franco and Heidi Whitman — produced installations that reflect each artist’s unique perspectives on the historical documents.’’
