Five Exhibitions: Opening Reception
Five new exhibitions, January 20 - April 8. Meet the artists at the opening.
The Nature of Things features the contemporary art quilts of New Mexico. Rust and Ruin showcases the sculptural textile art of Colorado artist Regina Benson. Felted Gardens by Erma Martin Yost was described in a catalog essay by Lois Martin, “Like a glimpse of a forest out a window, or of a garden behind a gate, they play with geometric pattern against a kind of botanical profusion.” Martin Yost’s felt begins with unspun fibers formed by hand with images created with resist dyes and marks added with thread and found objects. Blooming is an exhibit by members of Visions Art Museum of small quilts on the theme, blooming. Organic by Design is an exhibition of quilts by members of Canyon Quilters of San Diego.
