Printed & Stitched is North
County fiber and print exhibition at William
D. Cannon Gallery in Carlsbad on view until Oct 28th.
It features recent works from members of
the California Society of Printmakers and Studio Art Quilt Associates
and is curated by Christine S. Aaron. It is a travelling exhibition which is amongst
many of the fiber shows now on view in the San Diego Region.*
This show’s theme brings together printed materials mainly
on paper and fabric with sewn elements. It is broad enough to include piece for
all tastes. It brings to mind the act of collecting because as you walk through
the show it is important to choose the works you are attracted to and think
about why that is. Basically, collecting is all about making decisions. For
some us collecting marbles was our first experience of having to choose which
of our possession to keep and which to trade. The choice below is my personal preference.
Yes, it comes from someone that see lots and lots of art and has developed
criteria, but it is still personal and your choices are just as valid for you.
 |
| Barbara Poole - Intertwining Branches You can't help but admire the technique drawing skill of this complex work, but the little red and blue stitched lines make it personal. |
 |
| Rozanne Hermelyn Di Silvestro - Unraveled A gesture drawing in string, white against black, on a lime green wall is simple but amazingly striking. |
 |
| Bethia G. Stone - Looking Beyond the Rain This works takes me right back to my love of Japanese woodcut prints. A simple line or in this case stitch conveys so much moisture. |
 |
| Judith Content - Ragamuffin Series: Vortex Suite These delightful mounds of fabric with embellished tops are actually set in an old muffin tin, cut to size. |
 |
| Robynn Smith - Strata The experience of visits to a volcano site is interpreted in paper layers. |
 |
| Zwia Lipkin - 145 Jaffa St. My husband's choice of this workmade me look closely at fabricators workshop, with the tools and more importantly to me the subtle shading of the dyed fabric. |

| Denise Oyama Miller - Outcropping This image drew back as it was like seeing a boulder on drugs, heightened. reality. But look at it from a distance, as the mystery is revealed as you get close up. |
