SEDUCTIVE SURFACES
A Juried Exhibition of
Fine Art Fiber
June 5th - July 21st
Artists' Reception
Saturday, June 16th
from 7-9 p.m.
For centuries, artists
have used fiber and a variety of techniques to produce artwork. In Europe,
between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries woven tapestries would hang on
the wall in place of paintings, while in the Middle East artists were creating
beautifully woven rugs that depicted symbols and intricate designs. Today,
besides the traditional fiber materials like cotton, linen or wool there are
also synthetic materials such as plastic that are incorporated into the
artwork.
The 8 New England
artists that were juried into the show by Erica Licea-Kane, Assistant Professor
in the Art Department and Director of the Towne Art Gallery at Wheelock College
are: Sandy Gregg, Kay Hartung, Sharon McCartney, Nancy Morgan, Stacey Piwinski,
Marjorie Durko Puryear, Wen Redmond and Mara Taylor.
