Going out with a BANG!!!!

As the saying goes all good things must come to an end.  And so it is for "Upon Further Consideration: what tells a story", my exhibition with David Lang at the Carney Gallery, Regis College, Weston, MA.  But we are not going quietly :) 

Tomorrow afternoon David and I will be conducting a gallery talk which will then lead to a closing reception.  So we would love to have all come and help us toast out our latest creative endeavor!! 

artists' talk ~ 4:00pm

reception to follow

Also some pieces have been added since the opening AND some pieces will be going back to their private homes.  'dear jeff', which is the commissioned by a man who lost his fiance in 9/11, is now part of the exhibit at Regis, for all those who could not make it down to Attleboro Arts Museum.  Another new piece that was in Attleboro's 8 Vision is 'kid gloves'.  And 'in memory of . . .' will be heading back to her owners, who kindly let me show her for this exhibition, thank you Bill and Joe!!

Traveling dresses and dates to SAVE!!!

Just to keep everyone up to date 

(there seems to be  A LOT going on right now!!! :)

~ here are a few announcements from the studio ~ 

Persephone's dress

don't slip

eat your vegetables

clementine dress

 Just sent these pieces off to the Ann Street Gallery in Newburgh, NY for their Yumilicious! exhibit. 

 This was the first time that I printed 'don't slip' and 'Persephone's dress' as large photographs which is always exciting.  And while placing my printing order I decided to throw in 'sizzzzle' which I will be showing this weekend at Open studios!!

Yes, save the date, mark your calendar ~ 

this weekend is Natick Artist's Open Studios!!! 

The excitement and craziness is growing in the Natick Artist community 

as we all dig out our studios, trying to make it navigable for our visitors.

I will be camped out in my wonderful studio at 

25 Washington Ave, second floor, on the left.  

There hopefully will be many balloons guiding the way. 

 Click here for the full web site and the map.  

I am planning to have dresscards, dressmats, dresstags and 

my new series of collages, as well as other interesting artistic adventures.  

  

And remember you can ALWAYS bring some green/brownish fiber like material to add to 'insatiable'  When I was performing her at JP Knits for their Yarn Crawl people came in with lots of items.  One family came in with old soccer socks which we cut into strips and added to the beast.  It was such fun ~ all three siblings, ranging ages 4 -10, were nestled in to the couch, crocheting and NOT wanting to go :) 

And lastly ~ 

SAVE THE DATE 

for 'Upon Further Consideration' at Regis College, 

on Friday, October 26th, 

David Lang and I will be hosting a closing reception.  

There is also supposed to be a gallery talk that afternoon so the finer details will be coming.  So if you have not seen the show and needed an extra reason to go - you now have a the reason ~ a party!!

  

Hope to see you at one of these arty occasions!!!

Laboring on Labor Day

This Labor Day weekend I was working hard with fellow artist David Lang to install our current two person exhibit at Regis College's Carney Gallery ~ 

"Upon Further Consideration: what tells a story"

Opening Reception is this Saturday, Sept. 8th, 4-7pm

'continuum . . .' (detail) David A. Lang

This is an exciting show who both of us for so many reasons.   

First, it is such an honor to be working with Steve Hall at Carney Gallery, and to be exhibiting in this lovely gallery space. 

Also David and I are also so pleased to be revisiting our two person show from last year at the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, MA. It was during the SSAC exhibit that we witnessed how our pieces speak to each other.  

'raw' (2011-2012) organic crochet

And lastly, we are both debuting new pieces (especially David) which always adds an extra pinch of exhilaration to an opening. Here are some installation shots ~ 

The show runs from now until October 27th, with the opening reception this Saturday, September 8, 4-7pm. And for you who are keeping track, Saturday is also the Gallery talk for the 8 Visions exhibit at the Attleboro Arts Museum ~  

Saturday, Sept 8th: Gallery Talk, 2-4pm.  Free and open 

Hope to see you at one of these exciting venues - it all promises to be inspiring and entertaining!!
