Mend: Love, Life, & Loss - Group Exhibition
curated by Mark Sloan
This exhibition explores the paradoxical nature of the idea of mending--be it a human who is sick, a heart that is broken, or a profound grief over a death. The patch is often stronger than the original--hence the paradox. The artists in this show probe the dualities of strength/fragility, hope/despair, joy/grief, pretty/nasty, dainty/brutal, etc. using fiber as the key metaphor. Each of the ten nationally known artists employ the yoking of opposites as an expressive vehicle. All of the works in the show contain at least some sort of fiber--string, hair, thread, yarn, etc. Fiber is the central metaphor, as it is evidenced to be visibly fragile, yet through the mend, it becomes durable, and at times, indelible.
Artists:
Adrienne Antonson, Pinky Bass,
Jon Coffelt,
Leslie Kneisel,
Nava Lubelski,
Preston Orr,
Susan Harbage Page,
Marilyn Pappas,
