For Your Consideration, exhibit acceptances

Rabbit and Maple

 I am delighted to share that I have two works juried into For Your Consideration, an exhibit sponsored by the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh.

Included are Rabbit and Maple, a large (71" x 86"), complex work, featuring cyanotype images of rabbit skulls. It's part of my ongoing series Flora and Fauna, where I explore the theme of wildlife integration into our everyday environment. It also includes red maple cyanotypes, vintage embroidery blocks, and improvisational patchwork.

 Also juried into the exhibit is In Dreams I Drifted Away, part of my ongoing series on The River.

It too is complex, with a center panel, representing the river, made with needlefelting and lots of hand embroidery. The supporting quilt has a panel of hand-pieced hexagons, along with Mysore silks and hand printed and painted cottons. Size is 60" x 45".

 The exhibit was juried by Merill Comeau. It will hang at the Gallery of the Brew House Association, running from February 21st through March 21st. There is an opening reception on 2/21 from 6 - 9, and artist talks on 3/21 from 2 - 4. I hope to see some of you there!

Here's the exhibit postcard with the list of included artists. I am in very good company! Since moving the the Pittsburgh area I've been able to attend several Guild meetings and events and it is already enriching my artist life. I'm very happy to be here.
