SUMMARY:Gullah Doll House\, A Collaborative Exhibit by Kerrie Brown & Friends at Art League Academy
DESCRIPTION:Kerrie Brown\, a Hilton Head native and Gullah descendant\, continues a family tradition and celebrates her heritage through making dolls. With snowflake eyes and triangle noses\, these charming oversized dolls are both a commentary on current times and treasured keepsakes of the past. One doll sports a COVID mask\, others wear military camouflage. Two have mermaid tails and button eyes. \n“These dolls are an expression of Gullah culture that everyone can relate to\,” says Amy Wehrman\, Art League Academy manager. “They are at once familiar and approachable—a wonderful use of fiber arts to evoke a time and place not easily understood by everyone.”  \nBrown can trace her roots on Hilton Head Island since before the Civil War. For generations\, the tradition of sewing has been passed down through her family; she herself was taught the art of hand sewing by her great-grandaunt\, and the use of a sewing machine by her mother when she was 12. “I always think about that time when I am making the dolls.” Brown continues the tradition by hand-making dolls in the Gullah style—dyed muslin\, patterned cotton\, yarn and thread.  \nGullah Doll House\, a Collective Exhibit by Kerrie Brown & Friends will be on display at Art League Academy from April 4 to June 3.  \nArt League Academy is located south-island at 106 Cordillo Parkway.
