Food For Thought Announcement
Diane Dockery - When Pursued
Food For Thought
Sept 13 through Oct 26, 2013
Opening reception:
Friday, Sept 13, 2013 - 5:00 to 8:00 PM

 

The phrase "food for thought" describes something that is stimulating and interesting to think about, perhaps even profound.  The essential idea behind the phrase "food for thought" is figurative. It's the idea that some problems or concepts might feed our minds much as food nourishes the body.

 

'some things looming' challenged  artists to express: conceptually, figuratively, or literally this phrase 'food for thought' in a visual format, 2D or 3D.  Fiber or fiber techniques must be incorporated into the piece.  

  

Artists:  Brown, Edie, CA;  Dockery,  Dianne,  PA;  Kessler,  Vicki, ND;  Kjonas,  Dona,  FL;  Koster,  Phyllis, PA;  Malik, Saberah,  RI;  Marcus, Claire,  PA;  Peake,  Irene, NY,  Smith,  Marisa Renee,  PA;  Tanzos, Kimberly, PA
