March 1, 2004 - June 1, 2004
In contrast to strife, deficits and ambiguity, the five internationally acclaimed
artists in our current show invite you to slow down, contemplate, and enjoy the
tranquil beauty of a pure aesthetic. Emphasizing the surface, their work becomes
a sublime expression of spirituality. It is simply beautiful. Junco Sato
Pollack uses shibori, digital printing and thermoplastic techniques to create
her elegantly contemporary textile prints. She masters technology with the touch
of the hand. Far removed from the modern technology in Pollack's work, Frank
Connet's background in textile conservation influences his use of natural
dyes, such as indigo, madder root, and walnut husks. He searches for true historical
color and then restructures his dyed fabrics into dramatic arrangements. Jason
Pollen creates magic with dye and silk. His pieces emerge like notes from
a song, snippets of color and light that dance across a plain. They invoke awe
and reverie. Tetsuo Fujimoto uses stitching to manipulate the planar
surface with wrinkles, drapes and distortions. He encourages us to observe the
coexistence of the macro and micro world. Finally, we include the fabrics
of Reiko Sudo, founder of NUNO of Japan, whose brilliant manipulations
of cloth create rare, gorgeous materials intended for clothing. We hope
that the exquisite beauty of our show allows the observer to experience a sense
of peace and timeliness in a world without boundaries. | |
