Currently I have work on display at the Ratner Museum in Bethesda, Maryland. The show is up through February 27 and you can see the works of 7 fiber artists. The opening reception was on the 5th and we all brought food and wine. I looked at the heavily laden table and thought we had brought way too much. Wrong. Every drop of wine was drunk and the only food left was some forlorn pieces of broccoli. I think that there are a bunch of locals who come for every show opening, knowing there is free food and wine. There must be an assisted living facility nearby because I saw an inordinate number of walkers coming through the door.
I was assigned a corner for my work. On the left is 105 Degrees, followed by 4 small pieces from my Ventanas series (ventanas is Spanish for windows). Next is a 4-tych titled Four Square. I really love the effect of the graffiti line traveling through the different pieces.
And around the corner is Knots, which looks like it could be an extension of Four Square, but was not intended to be. Other works in the show are silk paintings, more quilts, and embroidery work. If you are in the Baltimore/Washington area, it's worth your time to visit the Museum.
