Repetition
EXHIBITIONISTA: Iteration Reiteration at TOUCHSTONE GALLERY
I am thrilled to participate in
in Washington, DC.
ITERATION REITERATION
Patterns and repetitive elements, integral to the art and design of countless cultures and artistic methods, offer viewers a framework to interpret information through recurring arrangements. How do these elements shape perception of art and the world?
This exhibition presents artwork that embraces pattern and repetition as the focal point, a complementary element within a piece, or as a fundamental part of the creative process. From symmetrical arrangements, geometric precision, minimalist repetition, and organic flows, Iteration Reiteration honors the power of patterns and repetition.
Included but not limited to are the visual mediums painting, printmaking, textile and fiber, video and animation, photography, sculpture, ceramics, collage, performance, sound, and mixed media. All works are original and completed within the past five years. The exhibition includes both a physical gallery show located in Washington, DC and a virtual exhibition. The fascinating and accomplished jurors are:

NEW WORK in 2021: “Forest Through The Trees”
I was happy to finally be able to have Elon Schoenholz Photography in to photograph works completed during 2021… fast away the old year passes…
Here I share “Forest through The Trees“, 15 x 42 x 12”, made of book board, canvas, hemp cord, ribbon, typewriter ribbon, acrylic paint, wood.
It is part of a monochrome series in black, through the colors of “black” are infinite, and change with light, material, juxtaposition, and how the viewer engages with the piece.
Comprised of two accordion-folded “spines”, the “book”, becomes a “box”, with a “door” that opens, expandable “walls”, and painted canvas “pages” held up precariously with wooden dowels. The piece can be presented and contemplated in numerous ways, and begs a tactile connection, through all of us working in book, and perhaps sculptural forms in general grapple with how to do this. How to have viewers engage with the work, participate in it, without having it worn away over time in the process…
We are seekers.
The Journey continues.
Happy New Year.
