JURIED EXHIBITION: hosted by Galatea Fine Art,
a contemporary artist-run gallery in the heart of
Boston’s SoWa District
Fabric, thread, wool, reeds, paper, wire and even plastic are magical
through the eyes and in the hands of a fiber artist. As they reinterpret
old designs and reinvent old techniques, fiber artists create new visions.
Galatea Fine Art in Boston’s SOWA district is hosting
Greater than the Sum of Its Parts, to display the greater world
of fiber art today. Galatea’s exhibitions also appear on Artsy,
giving work a worldwide audience.
“A Good Rain” will be shown in this exciting exhibition!
The underlying directive that insinuated itself into this piece was to express the energy of the rain into a body of water using the fewest of elements – line, color and materials.
The base fabric is hand dyed cotton shibori. I embellished with some white gauze.
It was a challenge to express the raindrops splashing into the water! A lot of free motion machine stitching and bits of cheesecloth, tulle and pieces of shiny cord accomplished the task. 17” wide and 45” tall.
Hope to see you there Friday evening!
