ARTWORKS Center For COntemporary Art
EXHIBITIONISTA: “ENGULFED” at Artworks Center For Contemporary Art
I am delighted to participate in:
ENGULFED
An International Group Exhibition
Opening: July 14th, 6-9pm – September 30th
An exhibition shedding light on the crisis of forest fires across the globe. Artists respond to the forest fires by developing work that focuses on global warming, resource destruction, property damage, loss of life, wilderness protection, sustainability, political issues, fire mitigation, first responders, or broadly conceptual work dealing with the interpretation of “engulfed”.
Juried by:
Executive Artworks Center for Contemporary Art Director and Curator Sarah LaBarre:
Sarah Elizabeth LaBarre has over 14 years of administrative and curatorial experience in non-profit arts organizations. She believes that art has the capability of transforming lives and is especially interested in points of connection between artists and the communities they live in. She holds an MFA in fibers from Colorado State University, a post-baccalaureate in fibers from Oregon College of Art and Craft, and a BFA in ceramics from the University of Arts in Philadelphia. Among other artist accomplishments, Sarah’s work is in the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum.
“Burning Bush” is a sculptural Artists’ Book made of board, mulberry paper, sewing thread, linen thread and dental floss. It stands upright on a pedestal, shelf, table or other surface parallel to the floor. When opened, it can span up to 11″ wide.
A Material Identity
“Material Identity” was an exciting show presented by the Loveland Center for Contemporary Art, Loveland, CO
I was honored to exhibit two works in the show.
The show asks the question:
“How does materiality represent who we are? Does the material you use dictate who you are as a maker? How does medium speak to who you are as an individual?”
In the exhibition Material Identity, 27 artists and makers from 3 countries and 16 states explore the substance of material, paying special attention to their place in the world, either from a focus inward, or how they identify in society at large. This international exhibition was juried by Jiseon Lee Isbara, Otis College of Art and Design, and Jessica Kooiman Parker, Boulder Dairy Art Center.

It has been a joy to participate in a number of exhibitions and artist talks over the past several months.
Partially due to the current pandemic, shows, panels, artist talks and more are being put online, and made accessible to the public at no cost to the viewer/listener.
