About the Item

A ceramic vessel inscribed with a missive is installed next to an intimate work on paper that includes similar vessel shapes and text in this provocative artwork by Heather Allen Hietala. This mixed media work offers a metaphoric narrative about journey, change and solitude. Heather Allen Hietala holds an MFA from the University of Massachusetts (1993) and a BFA from the University of New Hampshire (1989). Her work has been exhibited at the Wustum Museum of Fine Art (WI), the Mint Museum of Craft and Design (NC), the Atlanta International Museum of Art (GA), the American Museum of Quilts and Textiles (CA), the American Institute of Architects (DC), the Wesserling Textile Museum (France), and the Singapore Art Museum. Her work is held in diverse collections, including the Racine Art Museum (WI), the North Carolina Arts Commission, Fidelity Investments (MA), and the Biltmore Estate (NC). Her interest in other cultures has led her to teach and lecture in the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Nepal.
