Innovations in Textiles Biennial

This Saturday September 17th,  Marci McDade, former editor of Fiber Arts Magazine, will kick off the weekend with a lecture at the St. Louis History Museum addressing the contemporary state of fiber arts in addition to giving a current overview of the medium. Following the lecture there will be a gallery hop/bus tour around St. Louis that includes participating venues. Below is a map including the galleries and anticipated arrival times at each location.

Join me @ 3:20pm at the  St. Louis Artists' Guild to view and discuss my new exhibition titled Convergence; new works including installation, video, and drawing that explore the body's relationship to our built environments through the medium of fabric.

Hope to see you this weekend!

In grad school I came across Gabriel Dawe's work while searching for fiber artists and was really impressed. Then viola, a year later he does an installation in St. Louis. That NEVER happens.
What photos cannot capture is the perception and spatial play that occurs as you move around the work. It literally took my breath away watching the lines appear to vibrate and move space as I walked into the room. It reads somewhat flat at first and then you realize the interior recedes. Incredible union between work and site.
Bravo Mr. Dawe and The Luminary
