Curated by textile artist, Lisa Call, the Lux Center’s 2008 Fiber Invitational brings together diverse and talented regional and east coat artists. Deidre Adams uses the structure of the quilt to investigate surface and textures through stitched and painted natural landscapes and man made structures. Works by Joanie San Chirico share a similar focus on the environment and artifacts, while employing the use of hand dying processes and stitching on both cloth and paper. A fascination with form and color through the use of painting, printmaking, collage and sewing are displayed in Jeanne Williamson’s construction fence monoprints. Rounding out the bunch are Pam RuBert’s quilts which in their altogether unique way use RuBert’s own cartoon character, PaMdora, to create humorous narrative adventures.

 

Fencing In or Keeping Out

  
In conjunction with the 2008 Fiber Invitational, Denver, Colorado textile artist and curator, Lisa Call, will display her own hand dyed and stitched quilts. Call employs the use of abstraction, geometry, and the color pallet of the Southwest within her work. Interest in both geological formations and man-made structures such as fences and walls manifest themselves within her Structures series. Visible delineations suggesting containment and boundaries also allude to the psychological boundaries we set.
