The Loveland Artists Collective

A Material Identity

By

“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.

We hope that these offerings support energy, spirit, imagination and creativity, as well as health and resilience, during this unprecedented era.

Click, and enjoy.

To Your Health.

Exhibitionista: “HeART of the Book”

By

I have been honored to participate in The HeART of the Book, A national  book arts show presented by the Loveland Artists Collective, which crossed paths with the Covid 19 Pandemic, and was held in South Gallery at Artworks in downtown Loveland, CO, from February 14th – March 28th, 2020.

“The book has long been treasured as a literary work of art, but it is often forgotten in the realm of visual art.   Book arts have been around as long as humanity has been writing and reading, but within the last couple of decades, the book arts have become increasingly diverse and innovative.     The Loveland Artists Collective has been invited to show this group exhibition at Artworks, which is the largest Studio Artist Community in Northern Colorado dedicated to advancing the contemporary arts and visual artists.

The exhibited works spanned a wide range of forms, structures and materials.


My work, “Burning Bush” is in the photo above on pedestal, and  below:

A show to remember.

Wish I could have seen it, but we can, here.

Gratitudes!
