Behind the Seams

Ayin EsLeave a comment

BEHIND THE SEAMS is a curatorial project in collaboration with the Highways Performance Space production of Bias Cut highlights the work of three artists whose contemporary works create a connection between social issues and the activity of sewing. Artists Saeri Cho Dobson, Curt LeMieux, Carol Es, and Lea Redmond each approach needlework from a different expressive position, though all are united in their consideration of pattern-making, embroidery, basting, darning or stitching as more than craft.  The artists will join the creators and performers from Bias Cut in a reception on Saturday, October 17th prior to the performance.

Getting ready for tonight’s Open Studio at Moppet, which starts at 7PM – and no earlier mind you! 🙂 I don’t have too many confirmed Facebook friends coming this time, but that’s okay considering I am going to be doing this every month or so. It’s the all-day Discovery Tour that is going to be the BIG one, so I hope that brings a big turnout in November. In the meantime, I am not promoting the Second Saturday open studio every month as much as I probably should. I put out a few veggies, cookies and water and haven’t been serving out the wine – which just makes people not want to stay very long. I know art is better with wine, but I just cannot afford to get you all drunk once a month. Myself being plastered is another story all together though.

 

If you came last time, don’t bother coming again because I haven’t done much to the painting that was sitting on the easel. I was sick for a month and so have been working on the one at home, which is coming along. Here it is today (below), and it’s nearly done with the oil painting part. Once it’s dry, it’s embroidery time, which is the most fun.

 

 

I got invited into a show next month at Highways Performance Space and Gallery by curator Jane Brucker, an artist and professor of Art and Art History at Loyola Marymount University. It is to accompany a performance called Bias Cut held on October 16 & 17. The exhibition portion, Behind the Seams, will open the day before and will also feature Curt LeMieux, Lea Redmond and Browne Molyneaux.
