Stark County Artists Exhibit

It was quite an honor, and surprise, to have received Best in Show for The Unknown at the annual juried show at Massillon Museum last night. It was a very interesting and diverse show. The Canton Repository announced the awards in the paper on January 19.

For additional information on the piece, see my post entitled "The Unknown" from September 2, 2009.

The Unknown

The Unknown was created for a group show entitled fabric-ations at Malone University's McFadden Gallery. It is created with two identical images I had photographed while on a walk at the Genessee Monastery in New York. The back layer is opaque and stitched with silver threads dangling down eerily, the front layer is a sheer image that is raised to add depth and allow movement. It is intended to create a sense of intrigue about what is to come and how we may "fabricate" our notions of the future.

This was on exhibit at Malone University's McFadden Gallery and in my two person show entitled Sheer Obscurity at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH. In addition, this piece was selected to be part of the juried Stark County Artists Exhibition at the Massillon Museum.  It was awarded Best in Show.

Revelation

Revelation was created with two separate images. The back layer is a photo transfer of a photograph that I took of an outer hallway of the al Fateh Mosque in Bahrain. The front sheer overlay is of a pathway through the trees at the Genessee Monastery in New York. I particularly love how the foreground of both images work together to draw the viewer in.

This piece was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum in 2008-9.
