On View at Troutbeck: The Cloth by Taha Clayton
From August 19 - November 6, 2022 The Wassaic Project in partnership with Troutbeck present: The Cloth, a solo exhibition by Taha Clayton curated by Will Hutnick.
THE CLOTH is a series that travels through the transformational life of a cotton plant. Its history, symbolism and resilience parallel the women, men, and children that have come before me. I exist in their future and past. I am cut from their cloth. Fibers that were once exploited for its physical value, spun, stretched, and braided itself into eternal power. We move through the fabric of time, following intimate stories of fear, courage and joy.

Past Shows at Troutbeck
The Gallery
Inhabitants of Troutbeck through the centuries have celebrated music, literature and the visual arts. We carry forward that tradition in all respects. The Gallery, at the heart of our visual arts programming, is a serene space available to guests for contemplative viewing of remarkable artwork. Generally, additional works are hung throughout the Manor House, as with any great residence.
