“Fiber Perceptions” - an exhibit from Beyond the Edge Fiber Artists

 

Perception is defined as: "the ability to see, hear, or become aware of

something through the senses." The artist's eye perceives something worth

capturing in everyday scenes or objects -- perhaps it’s a shape or color

that catches their eye, a glimpse of a memory from long ago, or simply the

contrast with one’s surroundings.  Things that others may see as plain and

ordinary, an artist may perceive as special and extraordinary, something

worthy of artistic interpretation. This exhibit represents individual

artistic perceptions, seen with clear vision and interpreted in a fiber

medium. 

 

Fiber Perceptions Artists: Linda Anderson, Madeleine Bajracharya, Laura Bisagna, Mia Bloom, Cynthia Catlin, Linda Friedman, jo p. Griffith, Mary Beth Kile, Teresa Shippy, Eileen Wintemute

Bali Boys by Linda Anderson

Work by three of our artists has been given special recognition at the Escondido Arts Partnership Municipal Gallery's newest show, Fiber & Art Quilts. 

Linda Anderson's "Bali Boys",  shown above, won first place.

Mia Bloom's "Underneath" and Laura Bisagna's "Pointless" were also called out for a special mention by the art gallery.

Information about the show can be found below:

The Escondido Arts Partnership Municipal Gallery's newest show, Fiber & Art Quilts with juror Deborah Jarchow, features a mix of ephemeral fiber and traditional art quilts by California artists.  Pieces in the exhibition such as Stephanie Bedwell's Unforeseen Buoyancy convey the duality of the ephemeral nature of fiber and the strength of the human spirit through fiber vessels. Other pieces like Laura Bisagna's Pointless and Mia Bloom's Underneath explore traditional forms of quilting within modern subject matter and with ironic wit. 

The exhibition runs from August 8 through September 27, 2014 at the Escondido Municipal Gallery.  The gallery is open Tues. 11:00AM - 6:00PM and Thurs. through Sat. 11:00AM - 4:00PM.  Meet the artists during our opening reception on Saturday, September 13 from 5:30 - 8:00PM.  We are located at 262 E. Grand Ave. in Escondido.

Madeleine Bajracharya's "Shadows" Art Piece

We want to congratulate Madeleine Bajracharya for having her "Shadows" art quilt accepted into SAQA's  “Redirecting the Ordinary” exhibit. This exhibit will debut at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas on October 30th, and then travel to IQF events in Chicago and Portland. It should be a wonderful exhibit.

Linda Anderson's SAQA Webinar

Linda Anderson will be the featured artist for a SAQA Webinar on August 9th. The webinar will run from 2 to 3 pm, Pacific time. Linda will be talking about how she makes an art quilt from photos. She will show her step by step process of constructing the quilt, working from the back and batting to the front. She will show how she builds each element to create and image. It should be a good one to catch!
