Louise Berliner

Louise Berliner is a word wrestler and thread twister.

She makes sculptures of words that sometimes look like poems or novels, and beings made of waxed linen, misc. threads and fabrics.

Her writing has appeared in VQR, Porter Gulch Review, Ibbetson Review, The Mom Egg, Sacred Fire and various chapbook collections. Her first book, Texas Guinan, Queen of the Night Clubs, written in part thanks to an NEH grant, is a biography of a Roaring ‘20s night club hostess famous for saying “Hello, Suckers!”

Her work has appeared most recently in the Fitchburg Art Museum's 88th Regional Exhibition of Art and Craft, a two woman show with Max Payne, curated by Art at the Gleason (Natural Histories), and as part of a now permanent installation at Fabrik Arts & Heritage, Adelaide, Australia (Present). She’s also had sculptures at the Paula Estey Gallery (How We Heal), in several outdoor installations at Old Frog Pond Farm, Lex Art (Community Healing and Exploring the World of Fibers), Concord Art (MJ1,MJ2 and the Roddy Exhibition), the Umbrella Center for the Arts (Migrations), Maud Morgan Arts Center (Images of Grief and Healing) and the Nave Gallery and Annex (Tender is the Alphabet, Vessels).
