ARC GALLERY CHICAGO--FRAYED: FIBER BEYOND CRAFT--CALL FOR ENTRIES

posted by ARC Gallery and Educational Foundation

Fiber works — from embroidery, stitching and sewing, to weaving and felting— have, throughout history, been relegated to the genre of craft and to ‘women’s work.’ Since the late sixties and early seventies, however, the women’s movement has broken through that pigeonhole, as many talented artists turned to Fiber as a form of expression that extended way beyond Craft. As ARC calls for work that uses Fiber as a seminal aspect of expression, we look to further “fray” the boundaries of this evocative medium. Exhibit dates: Wed. June 26, 2019 – Sat. July 20, 2019 Juror: Jade Yumang Deadline May 11 Here is the link for the application form and prospectus: https://arcgallery.wufoo.com/forms/frayed-fiber-beyond-craft-at-arc-gallery-chicago/

ONE FINE DAY - JACKIE BATTENFIELD

posted by KENISE BARNES FINE ART

Battenfield’s meditative painting process begins with the artist’s close attention to the graceful forms of unfolding leaves and blossoms, and to the twisted boughs and branches of trees. The images of branches, leaves and blooms are first recorded as photographs then meticulously drawn onto large sheets of translucent Mylar. Battenfield’s paintings draw upon two natural but disparate processes: the gestural unfolding and leafing of a branching tree limb and the physical properties and behaviors of pigments. Battenfield mixes her pigments to an ink-like consistency and generously brushes the acrylic paint onto the smooth mylar where it forms a puddle of paint. As the paint mixture dries, the pigments reassert themselves, separating and forming unexpected and distinct abstract patterns.
