Opening Reception September 27th, 5 - 7 pm
September 27th - November 2nd
Woolwich, Maine
Please join me in Maine for the opening of Every Infinitesimal Thought.
Gallery Statement:
“It is an honor to present Every Infinitesimal Thought, co-curated with gallery artist Kate Russo. This exhibit brings together the work of four female artists devoted to the relationship between thread and color, stitching and abstraction. It includes works on paper, photographs, and canvas by Cecilia Charlton (London), Julie Cockburn (London), Kate Russo (Portland, ME), and Amanda Valdez (Brooklyn, NY).
Every infinitesimal Thought illuminates embroidery’s close relationship to the concerns of contemporary art, in particular temporality and materiality. Many of the works included experiment with combining thread alongside more traditional materials of abstraction: pencil, oil paint, and gold leaf. This exhibit challenges historically held beliefs of embroidery as a feminine pastime and reimagines stitching as an essential tool for abstract thought.
This is the inaugural Curatorial Incubator Exhibition, in which the gallery partners with a visual artist to help them realize a dream curatorial proposal.”
