A Look Back: Artist-in-Residence Mallory Zondag

Fiber artist Mallory Zondag ends her yearlong-plus residency at the Art Museum on November 28, 2021, with the closing of her installation Cocooned in Art Ways Interactive Family Gallery. The work, says Mallory, explored the theme, “when we work together as a society and help one another, the world becomes more colorful and full of life!” Here is her look back at her residency, which included both in-person and virtual workshops.

When I arrived in Acadia and began exploring, I was enamored by the incredibly lush and varied growth covering every bit of rock and earth. From the clouds and sprays of Reindeer Lichen that seemed to echo the sea foam crashing on the coast to the plush carpets of Haircap and Broom Forkmoss and even the flat, almost invisible shingled rock shield and cinder lichens that create new patterns in the granite through their density.

Artist creates Musikfest's first-ever poster made entirely out of fiber art

Artist Mallory Zondag has been a fiber artist and art educator working with ArtsQuest since 2017. But the last thing she expected was to be asked to make the 2025 Musikfest poster.
