A Fat Envelope* day

10/9/2020

2 Comments

 
Picture
I have been waiting for today. This is notification day for the Quilt National show. This show is held ever two years, and the show host a variety of contemporary and international art quilts. As with all juried shows, the exhibit slants differently every year, due to the subjective nature of jurying. I have no doubt that each jurist tries their hardest to be fair and that is appreciated, but when compiling a "best of" grouping, it is impossible not to have your own opinions. I say this to recognize the difficulty of being a jurist (I have done so in the advertising world, so I empathize), to console the  makers of pieces that may not have been juried in, and to explain my anticipation for the day, because it is always an unknown.

I submitted three pieces to the judging. The first  one "Dystopia in the time of Covid" (34wx60h) is based on the "doom and gloom" of the dystopia that is 2020. The dog toy is an image that I had, and the first time I saw a picture of the virus, that is exactly what I thought it looked like. The collage image is printed on chiffon, and behind the chiffon is  a grid made from the remnants of the masks I made for the protection of family and friends.

Picture
The second piece I submitted was this self portrait, "Just Thinking" (50wx36h). The background of this one is woven fabrics, and the weaving blends into the image via some painting and the stitching. The image itself was printed black and white on a linen-like canvas. It was then hand 'colorized' with fabric paint.
Picture
The third piece, "6' of Chaos" (52wx36h) is also influenced by the Covid world we are all now a part of. Our world seems a bit surreal right now, and I wanted to make this piece feel that way. It is a combination of three photos, with stenciled figures and paint as well as layers of fabric, yarns and stitching. It was my hope that this is the one that would be chosen if I was successful with my entry. I tried so many processes to get the textures and images I wanted. I thought the concept was strong, and the quilt techniques were unique in their use, if not their process!

Happily the judges agreed. This will be appearing in the 2021 Quilt National next June through September in Athens, Ohio at the Dairy Barn. Tomorrow, I will write another blog entry about the processes I used to make this one. So if you want to know more, stay tuned!

*"Fat envelope is a carry over from when you were notified be snail mail, not email. The "skinny envelope" contained only a rejection letter, while the "fat envelope" contained the acceptance, show information, and contracts.

Art alternatives in Covid

9/27/2020

The McGuffey Art Center, where my studio is housed, has been closed since March. This means the galleries have been empty, the classes unattended, the life drawing sessions called off, and visitors to our studios non-existent. Itis the right thing to do. It is understandable, and in fact, the solitude (we artists are allowed in our private studios) has been better than I thought it would be. It has been a productive, if not solitary time for me. 

This month two alternatives have been found. The life drawing sessions have resumed the last two weeks. We are outside and we are masked, but we are drawing again! This is also the best time of year (IMHO) for weather in Virginia. The sun is bright, the humidity is down, and the breezes are refreshing. All this makes for well attended and productive sessions! Here are some of my drawings from the recent sessions:

Picture
​The second alternative is one to compensate for the lack of exhibits! About a year ago, a call was put out for artists to display their work in the front windows of a building on the downtown mall. I answered the call, but because of Covid, all was put on hold until now. They called and asked me to put up a display in their front window.

​It looks great, and so much better than the many empty or blocked up windows in the recently closed businesses. To see all the work in this exhibit... or to purchase one, CLICK HERE

Quilt National '19

PictureDetail: Jean Wells Keenan: No Stone Unturned
Just came home from the whirlwind weekend at the Quilt National Show. This was my first time entering and first time accepted and for that I am honored and grateful. It turns out that about 30% of the entrants were first timers. I would love to know the reason for this (even I like statistics now and then!) Is that normal? Did the more experienced not enter? Is there that much of a surge in new art quilters? A fluke? Judging criteria? Just one of those  things that makes you go "hhmmmmmmm"

I must admit that after seeing the show I kinda wondered how my piece [stylistically] got/fit in! I think in the whole show of 90+ pieces there were about five "figurative" pieces, surrounded by colorful (and beautifully done) abstracts. There was one 3-d piece. Again, please understand I am not disparaging either the judging or the accepted entries, but I am confused about the ongoing intent of the show. There are so many wonderful directions that Art Quilting has taken recently that I was a bit confused about the lack of diversity in styles, medium and content.  Is it a showcase for the trends that happened in Art Quilting, or is it an inspiring showcase for possibilities! Each show venue lives with a reputation and expectations. QN is grandmother of them all, and as such has both a history to live up to and laurels to ride on.

Now for the good part! My absolute favorite of the show was Jean Wells Keenan's No Stone Unturned. It was the epitome of that which could not be done in any other media. The colors are cloth colors. The textures are stitched textures (both hand and machine), The concept is both universal and intimate. It hit every tick box for me!

Betty Busby continues to be an innovative and positive force for the Art Quilt world. Never resting on a style or technique, she pushes ahead with obvious joy and skill! One year a quilt, one year a vessel, this year a wall sculpture. BUT all recognizable on some level (color? whimsy? craft?) as a "Betty".This year it was Coloratura. A piece inspired by Opera. Thanks for all you do, Betty!

Of the prize winners, I was so happy to see Dinah Sargeant's Riverstrong get recognized. This was another piece that took joy in fabric. Each surface considered. Each stitch meaningful. One of those pieces that is not "Art Quilting". It is simply "Art".

I finally made it: The Visionary Art Museum

Ever since we moved to Virginia I have been hearing about the American Visionary Art Museum. Folk/Naive/Outsider art has always been some of my favorite art (that along with kids' art). as evidenced by my  earlier post about the exhibit in Milwaukee - So I have been anxious to get up to Baltimore to see it. Finally made it, and it did not disappoint! 

It is an unbelievable museum of spirited works inspired by nothing but life and the primal need to create. The work is soul-baring and poignant; It is funny and playful; It is a joy to behold.
Picture
You know from the minute you see the gleaming mosaics on the outside and then the giant Icarus flying in the stairwell (shown on the left) , that this is not your usual museum. The exhibits right now were themed "Parenting" and the stories told were from all sides of the coin - parent and child. Recounts of childhoods spent in danger or isolation were seen in all media. From a man who spent 30 years sculpting a "family" and then making detail costumes for each doll, to harshly scratched out drawings of a life spent hiding from addicted parents. An imprisoned father's depictions of life were shown  in detailed embroideries made from the unraveled socks he could get. So many lives told.

One of the main exhibits was dedicated to Esther Krinitz, a woman who along with her sister, managed to survive the Nazi occupation. The rest of her family did not. The individual depictions of the events leading up to, during and after the war were made to tell her own family of what had happened. The labor of love showed in every stitch, and the details of those memories were just incredible. ​​

One of my other favorite displays ran along the spiral staircase. It was a ten yard machine sewn illustration of scenes sewn by a man at the suggestion of those who stopped by.
Here is his story, idea of what it looked like, and some details.

It was a heart-wrenching visit, saved from being overly emotional by the gift shop at the end. What a place of wonder! Every trinket, accessory and fun things you could want for yourself or to give as gifts... will definitely be back there for the holidays!

DC Art with Friends

I just spent two wonderful days seeing, talking about, and walking through art! I went to several museums with two of my fiber buddies, and we then talked art over good food, and while sitting in various transportation vehicles!

Monday we went to Washington DC. We decided to try out two of the smaller museums, the National Museum of Women in the Arts and the Renwick Gallery, before we hit the National Gallery.

​The National Museum of Women in the Arts

Picture
We had all been to the NMWA before, and all agreed that this time the experience was more extensive and higher quality than we had remembered. We were happy to see several examples of fiber art represented.

The building is beautiful, but the curation takes a bit of getting used to. Rather than grouped chronologically or by media, it is very integrated in every gallery which, at times, requires the viewer to make some quick changes in their thoughts and perceptions. But a good visit nonetheless.
Behind the welcome desk, was a separate room with a traveling exhibit by Ambreen Butt. It was magnificent and moving. Her work uses so many different processes and exquisite craftsmanship to convey incredible concepts. 
Here is her bio (right) and one of her pieces (below). Click on the images if you need them larger!

The Renwick Gallery

The Temple that was built for the Burning Man show was still up on the second floor and there was evidence of the next show being installed, so not much new to see up there (except the beautiful building itself!), but on the first floor there was some interesting work. Four artists, Tanya Aguiñiga, Sharif Bey, Dustin Farnsworth, and Stephanie Syjuco were all represented in a show named "Disrupting Craft ". The common thread between their work was that they all addressed social justice. The work included clay, fiber, wood, found objects and more.

For me the most interesting was Dustin Farnsworth. I was also a bit proud to read of his connections to the UW in Madison, WI. The work stood on its own as  aethestically; then the layer of social justice/injustice representation added additional depth to the work.  for more on the exhibit click here. Here are a couple shots of his work:

As is often the case, we were too optimistic about how much time we would have, so it was a quick visit to the National Gallery. I decided to head over to the East Wing, and just say "hi" to the I.M.Pei building, and not worry about deciding what art to savor in only an hour.  My next post will be about our next day at the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.... stay tuned.

in the meantime,  here is a slide show are some of my shots from the national gallery, the Metro, and one from the wonderful deli/restaurant we stopped at for lunch.

I met three interesting guys today!

Today I visited the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk Virginia. It is a great museum. Small enough to not be daunting, but large enough to have a comprehensive and high quality collection. First, I went back to see the glass collection. It is well curated collection that will give you an overlook of glass through the ages.
I blogged about the glass before click here if you want to see that post and a whole lot of pictures.

Sometimes, at a museum, I want to visit the "old friends" but other times I search out areas with which I am unfamiliar. That was today. These three gentleman were three of the "new friends" I made. I love these three completely different takes on the human form. Artists from a thousand years apart, taking inspiration from the same form.
Picture
This is a “soundsuit” by Nick Cave. Some of his works are worn in performance, but this one is displayed as sculpture. They reference both armor and extreme fashion. This piece is made from doilies and toys of many types.
Picture
This is a funerary figure by the Bangwa People in Cameroon – from the early 1900s
Picture
This standing male figure is Mayan and is from 600-900 CE.
Picture
Down another hallway was a captivating new piece; Daniel Rozin's "Mirror No. 10 (Sketch Mirror). As I walked into the room this framed image changed and redrew me with a zillion lines of shapes and colors. For those of us who don't spend a lot of time in front of  Nintendo or other dance programs, seeing yourself on screen is oddly compelling. Renee, who was with me, and I spent way too much time goofing off in front of this!

To see a video of the fun we had, go HERE

All and all a fun day in a great little museum. Great Collection, Free Admission, and a working glass studio with demonstrations (and comfortable bleachers!)

I Have Been Profiled!

For those of you haven't yet heard the yelps of joy or seen the Facebook posts, Here is the big news from my studio! I was the profiled artist for this newest issue of Art Quilting Studio!

They contacted me several months ago, and Then interviewed me just before I headed to the Park Residency and now it is (as they say) "available at news stands everywhere!" (JoAnns and Barnes and Noble for sure!)

Ms. Freeman-Zachery was wonderful to work with and we had a great conversation about my work and Finer art in general.  From that and the photos I sent to the magazine, they created this wonderful nine page article.  If you pick it up (or sit on the bench at B+N) and read it, I hope you enjoy it!

Mend Don't Spend and Other Lessons Learned

10/12/2015

PictureLaura Sansone in her workshop on mending and reusing.
Day 12-14

These were the days of the Surface Design Association Conference, "Made/Aware". It was three solid days and evenings of great speakers, fantastic inspiration and really good people. The days were interspersed with workshops - mostly hands-on - and presentations. The presentations ran the gamut from very short talks by artists about their recent activities, to hour+ long presentations and discussion with key note speakers or panels. The subject matter dealt with examples, ideas and supply chains through which we could be more socially conscience while both doing our work and living our lives.

Three speakers of note were, Laura Sansone, Carole Lung, and Roland Ricketts. Laura Sansone is an educator and fiber artist who is working to promote the reuse and repair of clothing through street clothing labs at the farmer's markets in NYC. and linking in fiber artist and suppliers within her local Hudson Valley area. At the farmer's markets she dyes used clothing at the market using dye made from the available produce. She teaches people how to do this as well as how to remake the clothing they though they would have to throw away, or clothing they have purchased second hand.


Carol Frances Lung is an artist who defies classification she has developed an alter ego that combines social awareness of textile production issues, performance art and sewing for the masses. Frau Fiber, is the embodiment of all of this and more and this link will take you to an interview with her that will say it better than I can. I have taken the "Faux Frau" oath to help spread the word and support the "sewing rebellion". I hope you will hear more about that from me in posts once I am home.

I have to add a disclaimer here, I am generally not a fan of "performance art" but her work is just so well done, and FUN while bring home some very seriouse subjects.
Picture
Frau Fiber at work getting new recruits
Rowland Ricketts (pictured above) has spent his entire life studying and making blue. He is an indigo farmer. dyer and artist. He trained for many years in Japan, where his training started with working the fields and the daily stirring of the compost. He is now a world-renown artist who is presently in a show at the Boston Museum of Fine arts.
He was both passionate about what he does with Natural dying, but also realistic in his views about if they could ever replace the now prominent synthetics.

Beyond the Workshops and lectures, was an impressive show of fiber work in the hallway galleries of Arrowmont. Below is a slide show of some of my favorites from the show. I was impressive in both the craft and the content. Many of the pieces reiterated the social conscience theme of the conference. I have tried to include not only some of my favorites, but artwork that shows the diverse use of fiberous materials. From Susan Cavanough's Sheets, shirts, drapes and other textiles in her work "Ori-Kume", to the cyanotype imape on the strings of a mop in Howard Ptaszek's "Self Portrait". The effect of the fishing line and maps used in Mary Babcock's piece was outstanding. While Joyce Leatherwood and Molly Koehn used more traditional materials, their work was non-traditional in its subject and presentation.

The Artistry of Glass; a New Appreciation

9/17/2015

Recently a friend heard I was headed to Virginia Beach. She used to live in the area and implored me to go to the Chrysler Museum of Art while I was there. I was really looking forward to a beach vacation, and so wasn't sure abut this, but decided to stop in. Boy, was that the right decision! Not only is it a beautifully curated museum with many early works and women artists with whom I was not familiar, but it has one of the largest glass collections of any museum and a glass studio on the premises.

Truth be told, I have never been a huge fan of glass artwork. Maybe because I had not seen much of it, or maybe because I am mostly ignorant of the processes involved with it (other than, thanks to Audry Handler,  I learned it it takes a lot of lung power and a really big furnace!) But now that I have seen a lot of examples, and was led through a chronological tour of glass through the centuries, I am very appreciative of the art form! Isn't that exactly what a museum should do; make you appreciate things a little bit more.

The shapes

There were shapes of every kind; From the earliest small vessels, through lava-like mounds, to geometric shapes to the organic. The organic shapes were some of my favorites.
(Click on any of these to see a larger picture)

The details

The process that really blew me away was the engraving. This process involves several layers of different colors, or shades, layered upon each other, and then the glass is carved/engraved back to reveal the color that the artist want to appear. The center picture shows one of the artist's sketches for the large vase.
(Click on any of these to see a larger picture)

The artistry

Lastly, the number of artistic styles were as broad and deep as any other medium of art. One of the artists that I found fascinating was Steven I. Weinberg. Please go to his website to see more of his amazing work. This example is just a detail looking into one side of one of his pieces.

Along with the functional and the artistic were nestled the whimsical. I think many of these were made by the glass artists prior to glass being accepted as art, not strictly functional. There were glass canes, powder horns, giant pipes and whimsical sculptures. Below is a mustard server and a small figurine examples.

Quilts at Houston!

9/11/2015

I am so thrilled to have four of my recent art quilts in the upcoming Houston International Quilt Festival October 29 - November 2, 2015.

While the subject matter of the quilts are quite different they all started with one or more of my original photographs custom printed on fabric. It is my goal to make sure at the end, it is not just an embellished photo, but instead the photo and the stitching are so completely integrated that neither would be complete without the other.

I was hoping to get to Houston, but will be just ending a month as an artist-in-residence in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, so will head home instead! But if you are there, I would love to hear what you thought of the show, so please let me know through my Facebook pages (jill2day, or jillkerttulaphoto), or here!

Below is a gallery of the quilts that will be there and the names of the shows they will be in. Please click on them to see them in full crop and detail.

The Matriarch's Road Trip

'The Matriarchs' took a road trip to Cary, North Carolina to be in the 'Reminiscence' show, put on by PAQA-south. I drove down this weekend to check on them and join them at the Artist Opening. The event was held in a beautiful venue. The Page-Walker Arts & History Center is a wonderful old building that now houses rotating art shows. They filled two floors with the entries juried into this show; and it made for a beautifully curated, diverse and high-quality exhibit of a wide range of styles of art quilting.

It was a real surprise to walk in and see my ladies, greeting everyone as they hung,  front and center, over the guestbook! I also found out they had appeared in the mailings and advertisements for the show - I thought it looked like their heads were a bit larger than when they left home!

The show was fantastic and only surpassed by the wonderful people I met while there! The organizers from PAQA-south were enthusiastic and welcoming to all the attending artists. Great show - and a fun dinner of camaraderie out afterwards with many of the attendees. Here are a couple more shots of the venue:

A return to the McGuffey Art Center

Last night we had an opening for the New Members show at the McGuffey here in Charlottesville. It was well attended and festive.

This is the third show I have participated in at the McGuffey. The first was a fundraiser, the second a Holiday show and this present show. I am so pleased to be involved with the caliber of artists represented by the McGuffey. It is a co-op that has been a mainstay of downtown Charlottesville for 40 years. The artist represent virtually every kind of visual art, and also dance and performance arts.

I am on a waiting list for a rental studio in the center. There are about 40 artists on site, each of whom is actively working, teaching classes, and participating in many outreach programs. In the meantime, I have accepted a position as the Liaison for the Associate (non-rental) members. Wish me luck!

A fantastic Museum 

12/1/2014

This past week I had the pleasure of visiting The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, MA. Honesty requires me to admit that I went there with low expectations, and avoidance of going sledding, but was pleasantly surprised!  Contemporary Art is not my favorite genre. I often find it both self-serving and pretentious and not enlightening or  uplifting in the least. Well some of it was. But the experience overall was wonderful and expanding.

The facility is both innovative and wonderful. It is a warren constructed of several buildings that once housed a 19-20th century manufacturing concern. They have retained the bricks and mortar and connected the buildings with tunnels and bridges that are interesting in and of themselves.

Picture
Picture
While at times I felt I had fallen down the rabbit hole, I nevertheless enjoyed the adventure of exploration (and was glad they hadn't felt the need to add Ikea -like arrows for navigation!!) At the end of the tunnel, you can see a glimpse of the Sol LeWitt exhibition. It was three stories of precision and color! While the top two floors were interesting in the chromatic cacophony they presented, it was his early work in the first floor that I found intriguing. They presented his grid system and process with which the exhibit was constructed.

What struck me most was how very similar it was to the thought process that quilters go through while designing with multiple blocks of a repetitive design.
The highlight of the museum was the Anslem Kiefer exhibit. He is one of those artists that should rarely be shown in reproduction. The monumental size and the textural richness of his work is just not done justice no matter the number of dots per inch in reproduction! There is an entire building that has been erected to house three major works of his. The Museum will house these for no less than 25 years. The three works are vastly different in both concept and execution, but each as resounding as the other. For me, there have been few works (especially in the "contemporary" genre) that have moved me as the "Women of the Revolution" The literature about the exhibit explains the work as: It takes "its inspiration from Jules Michelet's 1854 study, Les Femmes de la Revolution, which chronicles the lives of specific women. who, in their uncompromising willingness to pursue democratic values, played an important role in the French revolution."
Click on any of the below photos to see larger and fully and at full crop.
Thank you Mr. Kiefer. You have done what art should do. Your craftsmanship is impeccable and supported fully by a strong concept and point of view, with not a trace of self-aggrandizing. You made me think on many levels.

Sub-Societies; more in common than we think!

This past weekend I attending the Quilt Festival in Chicago. This is a huge quilt exhibition, educational forum and vendor show. On day two of the show, I noticed a covey of young men outside the doors, and doubted very much they were quilters. I am both curious and forward, so I followed them up the escalators to see where they went.

There I came upon a world I had never seen before! It was a Grand Prix event for "Magic the Gathering". There was no admission and they were a welcoming bunch, so I went in. Amazing. Excited participants and camaraderie (just like downstairs at the quilt show); Vendors showing their wares (just like downstairs); Artists displaying their work (just like downstairs); People concentration on their work, making friends, competing, and using technology, all the same on both floors.

It made me think about how much more in common we have than we think we do. Perhaps, we just need to visit each others' sub-societies more often. Thanks guys for making me feel welcome, and introducing me to your world; hope you had fun when you peeked into the quilt show and saw mine!!

Sugar coated memories

I am at a show this weekend, and a couple booths down is a booth filled with memories. Randy's Candies specializes in candies from years gone by.

I don't know about you, but I so remember the sophistication of Candy Cigarettes and the stuck teeth and cracking apart the Turkish Taffy. Here were Smith Brothers cough drops, Beemans and Black Jack gums, Bubble Gum cigars, and just about every sweet memory you can think of.

They also had glass bottled sodas like Nehi and Cheerwine. (I gave up Nehi Orange after an unfortunate incident after imbibing in birthday party involving chocolate cake and Orange Nehi!)


They even had the Dots on Paper candy and Wax lips. However, while reminiscing at  dinner discussion tonight, we realized that none of us actually knew what to do with wax lips - eat them or throw away?
We also realized how intensely personal candy preferences are...what are yours?

Picture
Picture
I asked Randy where the SenSens were, but evidently the demand for those do not equal Turkish Taffy or Candy Cigs! Evidently the legal rights to these old candies have lapsed, and small candy companies have taken to replicating them - I guess they have figured out how to take the Baby Boomer memories of penny and nickle candies and charge us $1-$1.50 per for them! More power to them!
