Closing reception September 24, 5–6:30 p.m.
Open Spaces features fiber-based artwork that address the significance of the landscape. Natural elements, such as plants, animals, and stone, are foundational, and open spaces like national parks remind us of this while serving as a valuable resource for mental wellness. The US National Park Service was established 110 years ago, in 1916. There are more than four hundred national park units in the United States, including twenty-two in Arizona. This juried exhibition features weaving, quilting, felting, fabric manipulation, and fiber-featured mixed media.
Juror: Erika Lynne Hanson, an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and educator, whose work is rooted in textile practices. Hanson is associate professor of textiles/socially engaged practices at Arizona State University.
Espacios abiertos presenta obras de arte basadas en fibras que abordan la importancia del paisaje. Los elementos naturales, como las plantas, los animales y la piedra, son fundamentales, y los espacios abiertos, como los parques nacionales, nos lo recuerdan al tiempo que sirven como un valioso recurso para el bienestar mental. El Servicio de Parques Nacionales de Estados Unidos se estableció hace 110 años, en 1916. Existen más de cuatrocientas unidades de parques nacionales en Estados Unidos, incluidas veintidós en Arizona. Esta exposición con jurado presenta tejido, acolchado, fieltrado, manipulación textil y técnica mixta con protagonismo de fibras.
Jurado: Erika Lynne Hanson, artista interdisciplinaria, investigadora y educadora, cuya obra está arraigada en las prácticas textiles. Hanson es profesora asociada de textiles/prácticas de compromiso social en Arizona State University.
