My altered book, The Fence Environment #1, will
be on exhibit in a show called Materiality: A Fiber Arts
Group Exhibition at the Ann Street Gallery in Newburgh, NY from March 15 - April 12, 2014.
Their
website describes the show as, "Featuring
more than forty works by twenty-three fiber artists who employ traditional and
non-tradition techniques, the exhibition provides an opportunity to experience
fiber art that focuses on the creative potential of incorporating diverse
materials and alternative technologies into the medium. Through the use of
fabric, paper or human hair, these artists employ a wide range of techniques
that include hand-woven and computer-assisted weaving, mixed-media collage,
casting, combining sewing with painting and sculpture to express their
ideas."
This is
the first time, in a decade or more, that I'm in a show where I don't know any
of the other artists. It's very nice to be introduced to their work, and to have been invited to be in this exhibit.
