 Far From Home by Tim Timken

“With this show, I’ve gotten off the road I was on and this trip has no road map. So, I’ve had to follow where the sketches and the painting leads me.”

 THE HARVESTED  by Daniel T. Smith

The harvested – It’s what farmers and gardeners look forward to each season, ‘How did my crop do?’  I like to immortalize my harvest with oil paint and a canvas. 

Textiles  by Theresa Forsman

My textile art started with a deep respect for the handwork crafted with needle, thread, and fabric by countless women through the centuries. Several of my pieces incorporate these ancestors’ vintage embroidery, crochet, and wisdom. Craft, like art, is a kind of knowing.

One thing leads to another, and traditional textiles gave way to experimentation with dying, layering, felting, and working on paper.

In the face of 21st Century technology, handling fabric and lace and great grandma’s quilt blocks is a tactile refuge and its own reward. In my process and in the finished pieces, I hear an echo of Jon Batiste’s advice: Stay human.

Future trash and Past works by Lesley Darling 

Darling’s new mini series examines the interaction between the individual consumerism, personalization, and waste. Her new works are made entirely using waste-intended materials, including expired house paint, stencils made from trash, and eclectic bag charms from discarded items. The absurdist undertones point to the cognitive dissonance we experience in a capitalist culture of abundance and waste, where, desperate to create a sense of meaning through accessorizing, we undermine our own goals towards sustainability.
