Please be our guests as we kick-off the new year celebrating, Considering January, with Cheyenne Concepcion, Michael F. Rohde, Emily Silver, Uma Rani Iyli, Richard-Jonathan Nelson, Julia Couzens, Lia Porto, Joy Ray, Svetlana Shigroff, Brenda Gonzalez, Aubrey Longley-Cook, Jonathan Parker, Carmen Mardonez + Artists employing textiles in their art practice is still relatively new, whether woven, twisted, whole cloth, or yarn. If the artist is successful, we suspend our recognition of function and dive into the myth and fantasy of sensual gesture, playful texture, arousing color and riveting speculation. It takes a bit of audacity to think that an art practice can override the historical implications of cloth, but it’s just this audacity that draws us into their and our imaginative possibilities.
