Tenuous Threads
I’m pleased to share that one of my new Hair Rope pieces will be included in this show of contemporary work incorporating textiles, fibers, threads and mixed media.
The show description really resonated with me… All of life is connected through networks, systems, fibers, and webs. Communication (visual, verbal, electrical, chemical, and kinetic) enables an exchange of information amongst all life forms. Tenuous Threads alludes to the delicate lines that bring us together and sets us apart; that joins us yet repels us.
The opening reception is Thursday January 26th, 5:30- 8:00pm. I hope to see you there.
Exhibition Dates: January 24th- February 11, 2023
Location: Atlantic Gallery, 548 W 28th St #540, New York, NY
Detail View…New Work
I can’t wait for you to see these new weavings on shopping cart parts for my show at Ivy Brown Gallery in September.
I’m in go go go mode finishing up the work
Surviving Blackness in America:
Quilts as Political Statement
In honor of Juneteenth this year, I am sharing the public a recording of Textile Society of America’s 2022 colloquium series, (re)claiming futures.
“Surviving Blackness in America: Quilts as Political Statement”
Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi led a panel of leading Black quilters—Ed Johnetta Miller, Dorothy Burge and L’Merchie Frazier—who discussed their artwork through the lens of social justice, protest, and as a reflection of past and current situations adversely affecting the African American community.
These quilters are all members of the Women of Color Quilters Network, founded by Dr. Mazloomi. Karen Hampton, artist, TSA member made the opening and closing remarks.
(re)claiming futures is generously supported by the Lenore Tawney Foundation.
