FEATURE AREA & WINDOW DISPLAY

SHOWING THE FEATURE GALLERY:

Shannon Weber creates original one-of-a-kind vessels and assembled collages out of multiple layers of weaving, stitching, tying, encaustic, and paint that work around the edges of traditional techniques. Most materials are hand gathered.  To quote Weber “If it bends I use it!”  Weber calls her mixed media kelp constructions: wall quilts.  Weber approaches primitive forms of weaving and tweaks them into “new” aboriginal forms. Her work tells a story from her soul; inspired by the unknown past and created using her own discoveries of technique and style.

SHOWING IN THE WINDOW GALLERY:

Jessica Kreutter is introducing her latest creation, “Sorting Pods.”  These pods are an exploration into both the fixation and satisfaction that can occur in the process of categorization and organization.  A couple of years ago she came across a large shoebox with thousands of tiny pictures meticulously cut out from old household goods catalogues.  As she began looking through the cutouts, Kreutter instinctually began to sort the pictures into categories. After the sorting was done, which took her a year to complete, she made ceramic half capsules or pods and collaged on the “inside.”  The collage and designs were based on the cutouts that made up the categories.
