Through January 13, 2008
Southwest School of Art & Craft

Employing obsessively repetitive method of making, the three artists featured in this exhibition share a keen interest in process, time and space. Through the process of cutting, crocheting and typing, the artists convey the meaning found in the fabrication itself. The exhibition ranges from large scale intricately cut rolls of textile to smaller meticulously typed vellum sheets and large assemblages of found industrial materials. On January 13, the exhibition's closing will be honored by a Readers' Theater performance event, co-sponsored by Gemini Ink. www.swschool.org |
