Un-clothing and Un-covering: revealing art in Textiles
“The artists’ focus is on the physical. psychological and spiritual connections they enjoy with their materials and which figure prominently in their artistic expression. For artists whose media embrace needle, thread and fabric, and often enough paint and print, making marks with stitch is an enticing activity akin to the literate and physical delights of writing or painting.”
“Wendy Feldberg’s impressionistic stitched canvases refer to her personal stories retold or uncovered; journeys retraced; landscapes revisited; snatches of sound recalled as shapes and colours.”
“Karen Goetzinger’s work celebrates the paradox of limitless possibilities within a limiting world. Revealing her passion for old Japanese textiles, Karen employs a simplified kimono shape as a canvas on which she intuitively assigns positions to fragments of vintage kimonos. The resulting textile unfolds the artist’s dual perspective on traditional beauty….”
“Carmella Karjio Rother’s art reflects on recurrent spiritual questions about the duality of self: an outer shell to the world on a daily basis, and an inner self revealed more privately…. Carmella’s non representational works are fabric collages constructed with overlapping pieces…”
SOUTH GALLERY
Gordon Leverton
Shapes of the City- Paintings
‘Gordon Leverton’s love of urban decay takes him mainly to the industrial north and east end of his home city, Hamilton ON.
Mixing dry media with citrus based industrial solvents pieces fuse realism with aspects of abstraction… …the city held an ideal blend of grit, rawness and cosmopolitan flavour that has held his imagination..’
Gordon is a co-founding member of Fine Line Artists Collective and is active within his local arts community.
