"The Way is Not a Way But a Place" by Chloe WildwerdingThis is a solo exhibition by mixed media artist Chloe Wilwerding blends photography, embroidery, and quilting into textile portraits of place. Through references to merit badges and outdoor gear, the show proposes a shift from achievement in nature towards wonder, intimacy, and attention to the landscape.
GEOart Collective: Cracks, Layers, WaterThe GEOart Collective is an international consortium of artists who share a love and fascination of nature and the geosciences. Each artist in our group brings a unique set of skills in the world of textile and mixed media. Many of us create our own fabrics, threads and papers through the use of dye, paint and print. Artists in the GEOart Collective have exhibited their work locally, nationally and internationally.
