Dale Gottlieb: Story Rugs – Tales of Freedom
Whatcom Museum, ARCO Exhibits Building
Drawing from a broad range of literature, multicultural folklore, history, and her own personal
experiences as inspiration, Dale Gottlieb creates colorful, dramatic works that focus on people’s
struggles to escape injustice and oppression. Gottlieb, whose medium is woolen, hand-knotted,
limited edition rugs, collaborates with a Tibetan family of weavers in Kathmandu, Nepal to produce
her Story Rugs. Gottlieb’s most significant theme is the pursuit of freedom. For more information about
