I am thrilled to share that my work Eucalyptus has been selected for the juried regional exhibition Printed & Stitched.
Eucalyptus uses three botanical prints of eucalyptus leaves on silk fabric pieced together with botanical-dyed cotton fabric. Each print is roughly 5” x 3”. Machine quilting and hand embroidery complete the design. The finished measurement is 12” x 12”. See the original posting about this art quilt here. Detail image:
The exhibit concept read: Printed imagery, and sewn fibers, are a seemingly ancient combination. At their confluence there is pigment and pressure, woven layers, and borders sewn with fiber. There is color and also texture, form, intention, ingenuity, and many stories. Textile and print go hand in hand, and the combinations are constantly being reinvented. Printmakers often reference fiber and stitching, while textile artists incorporate printed elements into their work.
California Society of Printmakers (CSP) and Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) are working together to examine the overlap between the hand pulled print, and the art quilt.
The exhibit will feature work from 58 artists, nearly evenly split between SAQA and CSP members. This exhibition will travel to galleries and museums throughout California through July 2027. The opening venue is
Art Ark Gallery
1035 South 6th Street
San Jose, CA 95112
May 20 – June 16, 2023
I hope you’ll be able to stop by the Art Ark Gallery for this exhibition.
This sounds like a perfect opportunity for a road trip with friends. I’ll talk it up and hope to get something together. Congratulations.
Sounds like a plan! You’ll have to let me know what you thought of the venue, layout, work. Everything!
