With her hand-constructed fiber art, and using screen-printing, dyeing, painting, and burning, and design elements such as beads and colorful shredded cloth, Susan DeSalvatore explores themes of grief, grace, mercy, and the phases of life common to all. She incorporates language into some of the pieces, both single words and poems, and uses printed photographs to make a complex canvas on which to express her ideas and reveal layers of meaning. Other pieces are collages made of torn bits of thread and cloth—abstract works that are brilliant celebrations of pure color and texture.
Jane Ujhazi's natural stone necklaces of silver, amber, turquoise, and other semi-precious stones are contemporary, but happily acknowledge the past. A collector of antique and tribal beads from around the world, Jane is inspired by the long tradition of human self-decoration, and evokes many different periods and lands with her designs.
The show runs from March 1st - March 30, 2016.
