Worth “A Thousand Words”

By

It was a pleasure to participate in Core New Art Space‘s exhibition: 

Juror, Richard Chamberlain, pursues several lines of work in visual and performing arts and is a published poet as well. He was looking for: “….works that tell a story. Realistically, abstractly or expressionistically inspired by literature and legends, poetry and parables, novels and narratives, myths and metaphors, artworks have their own fictions, fables, folklore or fairytales. Artworks can be worth a thousand words. The exhibited works were judged on overall impact, content, composition and mastery of techniques, as well as attention to creativity and craftsmanship.”

Below are images of the show, including my work, “Window Treatment“, a sculptural artists’ book,
perhaps evoking the film, “Rear Window”.
What stories go on behind these windows?!

 

Exhibitionistia: “A Thousand Words” at Core New Art Space

I am honored to be showing “Window Treatment”  as part of the “A Thousand Words” show at Core New Art Space!

“A Thousand Words” presents works that tell a story. Realistically, abstractly or expressionistically inspired by literature and legends, poetry and parables, novels and narratives, myths and metaphors, artworks have their own fictions, fables, folklore or fairytales. Artworks can be worth a thousand words. The submitted works were judged on overall impact, content, composition and mastery of techniques, as well as attention to creativity and craftsmanship.”

Exhibitionista: Small Works at Vanessa Lacy Gallery

By

I am thrilled to be part of the 3rd Annual Spring Small Works show at the Vanessa Lacey Gallery.

The 3rd Annual Spring Small Works Show Virtual Edition at Vanessa Lacy Gallery is now live!  Browse affordable art under 14 inches from the comfort of your own home.

Vanessa Lacey chose works she felt would be uplifting to the viewers.

I am showing Narrow Bridge, a flag book made of board, tissue paper, window shade material, linen thread, and collage.


Outside, Front Cover

Inside, it says in stitching:
“The Whole World is A Narrow Bridge
The Important Thing Is Not To Fear”


Exterior
The book is comprised of an accordion-folded spine, with two covers, and flag pages attached to opposite sides of the folds, so that they create an alternating pattern when the book is opened.

A message of hope, assurance and our connectivity as human beings.

May you walk your own Narrow Bridge with hope and confidence and move through your own fears during this challenging time.

Stay Safe
Stay Well
Stay Sane
