Mother, daughter exhibit at Schuylkill center through May 31

A local mother and daughter are featured together in the “Mothership: Source and Satellite” exhibit now through May 31 at the Walk In Art Center in Schuylkill Haven.

Artists Lorraine Felker and Lori Remmel are familiar to the art center but this marks the first time they will exhibit together.

Remmel, a Tamaqua area multidisciplinary artist and educator, engages materials through fragmentation and reassembly. Her work incorporates discarded objects, images and found materials, revealing the personal and cultural traces embedded within them. Through collage, sculpture and assembly, Remmel constructs narratives from what is left behind, reflecting on memory, environment and the accumulation of everyday life.

Felker, a fiber artist and educator based in Schuylkill County, works in basketry, weaving, knitting and felting. Her practice is rooted in techniques refined over time and passed from hand to hand. Moving fluidly between traditions, Felker explores the space where function becomes form, allowing different fiber processes to inform one another through experimentation.

Together, their work forms a generational orbit. The “mothership” suggests origin, tradition and grounding and the “satellite” reflects movement, reinterpretation and distance.

The exhibit is on the third floor gallery of the 220 Parkway Center, which is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and from 1-5 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, visit www.walkinartcenter.org.
