Artist Marie Watt creates her work from old blankets that she says are filled with the stories of people’s lives. Her piece "Witness" is a part of the If You Remember, I’ll Remember exhibit that opened last Saturday at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art. To kick off the exhibit, Watt, who is Seneca and whose art is influenced by her Native American heritage, hosted a community sewing circle, an event she will use for inspiration to create a new piece the museum has commissioned from her.
