I am happy to announce that Woodwardia Wonder has been accepted for The Consilience of Art & Science, a Pence Gallery and UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Juried Exhibition opening at the Pence Gallery January 10 and running through February 28, 2014. All mediums were considered for this exhibit. (Hover cursor over images for more details.)
The statement on the call to artists and scientists is:
The goals of the exhibition are to show creative work that explores the intersection between art and science; to foster communication between the arts and sciences; and to spark new ways of viewing the world and ourselves.
The woodwardia fern has captured my attention for some time now. The structure of the fern is one example of the quasi-self-similar fractal as defined by mathematicians. Leaves repeat — though not exactly — in ever-smaller forms. It is also a native California plant and the fourth art quilt of my series exploring such plants.
Based on past experience at the Pence Gallery, the art work selected will be of impeccable workmanship and the creativity expressed will push the boundaries of each artist’s medium. This is going to be an exciting exhibit!
The Artists Reception is Friday, January 10, 6 – 9 p.m. There will be a jurors’ talk from 5 – 6 p.m. and awards will be given at 8 p.m. The exhibit will be displayed in the Main Gallery space, measuring 100 sq. ft., with 12′ ceilings, lit by a dramatic glass tower. I hope to see you there.
Congratulations again, Franki! It sounds like you’re really starting to take flight! I wonder if I can fit a trip to Davis in the not-too-distant future? 🙂
If you do, please let me know. We should meet somewhere along the way.
Congratulations, Franki. Can’t wait to see this venue featured on your blog AGAIN!!!!
Me too!
I won’t be able to make it to the Artists’ Reception, but I’ll definitely go before the exhibit is over. It’s a lovely quilt, Franki!
Sorry to miss you at the reception but I’m glad you’ll have the opportunity to stop by.
