Crux of the Matter: Work by Margo Mensing and Sayward Schoonmaker
October 15 – November 9, 2025
Crux of the Matter presents work by Margo Mensing, (1941 – 2024), Skidmore College Fiber Arts professor, interdisciplinary artist and poet; and Sayward Schoonmaker, Skidmore ’06, interdisciplinary artist, writer, and former student of Mensing. Both artists play with language, using subtle humor as underpinning, and both approach their work through a conceptual lens, starting with an idea and then finding the physical form to best serve it.
This exhibition was shared with TSA by colleagues honoring the memory of Margo Mensing (1941–2024), former TSA Board Member and Professor of Fiber Arts at Skidmore College.
