This exhibition delves into the outer edges of fibre arts. Fibre arts is a style of fine arts made with textiles and is more concerned with creativity and skill in the end product than functionality. In Around the Frayed Edges a narration will be spun through work that pushes the confines as to what an artist can do with fibre today. Twenty-seven fibre artists from across North America have created works for this exhibition. From sculptural to painterly to installations this leading edge exhibition addresses all of the visual arts elements – all in fibre.
“more paintings about buildings and rocks”
June 3-July 24
Victoria Ward and Gary Blundell
Opening Reception Friday June 4 at 4pm
The intriguing title was chosen as a play on words based on a record from 1978 by the New York based band the Talking Heads (“more songs about buildings and food”). This record, and others that emerged during the late seventies, instigated Blundell and Ward’s exploration into radical thinking and art making. “more paintings about buildings and rocks” refers to the fact that they generally focus their work on geology and architecture.
