Praxis Gallery: Current Exhibition
Layers
Art Cloth Network
January 12th - March 22nd
Artist Statement:
The selected 27 works by 22 artists are largely abstract in nature with complex patterning and color combinations. Layers were created in the works by digital printing, collage, stitching, beading, and paint over dye, print over print, sheer over opaque, woven over non-woven. These artistic choices make for a cohesive exhibit that reflects many interpretations of the theme.
Artists employed creative contemporary techniques and novel materials, such as paper, vintage objects, distressed, rusted and naturally dyed fabrics to convey an often highly personal message. Works were informed by nature, organic forms, the world and our place in it. Some pieces express sentiments and evoke emotions of past generations layered over time that spoke to the interconnection of family relationships.
Gallery is open Monday 4–8pm, Wednesday + Sunday 12–4pm or by appointment (contact@praxisfiberworkshop.org)
