BATH — Susan Perrine of Woolwich exhibits pieces of her art in a show titled “Surgery Knots: Recent fiber art works from rural Maine” through May 7 in the lobby of the Midcoast Center for Higher Education, 9 Park St.

Perrine’s artwork includes sculpture, garden structures, artist books and handwoven pieces.

“ I grew up on a farm and have always spent a lot of time outdoors, walking the fields and woods near home,” Perrine said in a release about the exhibit. “I try to use methods and materials to reflect the connection I feel toward the natural environment.

“I use traditional fiber art techniques to fix materials together creating sculpture, 2-D imagery and wearable art. Besides renewable plant and animal fiber, I collect and repurpose recycled and found objects. I advocate for the arts and develop inclusive community art making projects.”

Viewing hours are 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, or 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.
