The “Stitched, Stamped, and Sculpted” exhibit, currently on display in the Ormond Memorial Art Museum, has some really fabulous work.
Liz Canali has several felted and highly textured pieces in the show. They are all done in neutral colors of cream and grey. This is her piece The Lore of the Stones – Granite.
And a detail shot.
Pretty cool, right?
Normajean Brevik’s embellished piece is also very intriguing. It’s called Seeing Red Again #5.
The most mixed-media and 3D piece in the show is Gertrude, by Sandy Shenker. This piece is about 5′ high, with a gourd as a head, fabric-covered PVC pipes as legs, and many more unusual and ingenious uses of materials.
Sandy has also included a photo book showing how it was all put together. It’s very informative and definitely worth perusing.
My art group, Dirty Dozen Fiber Artists, was invited to show our group work, Measure of a Woman. These are self-portraits, each the height of the maker. The museum did a fabulous job hanging them, as you can see. Being the shortest in any group, mine is the red one on the left. (See a better image)
L-R artists: Ellen Lindner, Marilyn Seibring, Ruth Anne Parker, Dij Pacarro, Laura Ruiz, Jill Brown, Sandy Shenker, Gabriele DiTota, Becky Stack, Kathryn Robinson
On opening night the audience was very interested in the art. Here, Regina Dunn is talking with a few admirers about her Transformation pieces.
But, this photo gives you a better idea of the energy and enthusiasm in the room. (This is one of four rooms in the exhibit space.)
The exhibit will be up through August 14th. I hope you get to see it!
Ellen Lindner
She did a great job with floppy flowers, contrast stitching, and that crossword background.
