There are some pieces on exhibit at "Safe", at the Atlantic Works Gallery, in East Boston, MA, that have fiber in them.
James Jaxxa, "Flowerhawk" and "A-9 Flowerhawk", are both created with folded paper, foil, tape, staples, plastic beads and sequins.
Leigh Hall, "In or Out", is a drawing of a chain link fence, made of thin black electrical tape, that is applied directly on the wall.
Patricia Berube, "The Bathtub" is a painting that includes pieces of paper sewing patterns that are applied on the piece in a very subtle way.
And, my Orange Construction Fence Series #40 (shown above) is monoprinted and handpainted on fabric, stitched, and includes some yarn.
Safe is open Fridays and Saturdays from 2 to 6 pm, or by appointment, until August 29, 2008. If you can't visit the exhibit, you can see a selection of the work online.
