Exhibitionista: conVERGEnce at MarinMOCA
I am thrilled to be participating in MarinMOCA’s upcoming exhibition:
conVERGEnce!
“In a time of extraordinary flux, this exhibit will explore concepts of merging, verging and combining in shape, form, color, and meaning. How do artists investigate coming together—or coming apart—in their practice? The exhibit will feature artists from around the country working in a variety of media.
The exhibit has been juried by Susan Snyder who is a partner with Oliver Caldwell in the Caldwell Snyder Gallery, a leading contemporary art gallery representing many of the most significant international painters and sculptors of the 21st century. Founded in 1983, the gallery now has three locations in San Francisco, St. Helena, and Montecito.”
These are the participating artists.
I am showing, “Hopes and Fears and…” 2020, 24.5 x 16.25, mixed media (textile samples, linen thread)
ZOOM in on Distance Learning 2
As everyone keeps saying, 2020 was a year like no other.
One of the ways it has been a year like no other, is teaching online, in my case through Zoom, engaging in what is called, “distance learning”.
Well, you can’t beat the commute and clean-up time, and I found there are indeed ways to connect significantly with students and colleagues and even teach some things!
Here are some highlights, with further posts illuminating specific projects, classes and workshops.
Enjoy. From the expression on these faces and the works they created, these makers did!
Envelope bookmaking for the holidays, and LAPL love!
“Folded Fan” bookmaking.
LAPL Librarians get into the act.
Here’s to a better 2021.
To Your Health.
