I will be give a studio tour during the live, virtual online arts festival on Zoom showcasing Jersey City arts.
See the recent fiber sculptures I have been working on in quarantine in response to recent events. I will be weaving and taking questions from the audience during this live event.
Even in the middle of a global pandemic the show must go on… I have several upcoming shows opening in public and virtually. Here’s what’s coming up for me…
In the exhibition Material Identity, artists and makers are invited to explore the substance of material, paying special attention to their place in the world, either from a focus inward, or how they identify in. The show asks 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?
Good News…. as New York City progresses toward reopening, BWAC gallery in Brooklyn will open the juried show, Wide Open 11, to the public in August 2020.
EXHIBITION DATES: August 15 to September 13.
LOCATION: 499 Van Brunt Street, Door #7A, Brooklyn, NY
Wide Open 11 is a national juried show, hosted by BWAC and juried by Paulina Pobocha, Associate Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, Museum of Modern Art!
Now in its eleventh year and as its name implies, the broad theme of this exhibition looks to explore the idea of “wide open” in all the hidden niches of our collective psyche; It encompasses all the possibilities of knowledge, freedom and love: wide open space; arms wide open; eyes wide open. Yet, as with all things, there is the inevitable opposite: wide open to attack, corruption and failure.
I workshopped I Am My Hair for more than 200 people in my hotel room during 14C Art Fair, February 2020. And was fortunate enough to share other works in the Juried Show and 14C Hospitality Suite…
