David Kaye Gallery was one of my stops.
Coming from a textile background himself (weaving) he selects interesting textile artwork for his space. He does feature other art mediums. I stop in there regularly.
This piece caught my eye.

| detail, Icarus No.11 2012 mixed media on aluminum by Donald Andrus |
It reminded me of stitching, of making marks with thread and a needle. I liked the juxtaposition of the hard material imitating a soft technique. The artist used cold aluminum while the activity of stitching into textile is soft and comfortable. That's my opinion. That's what I got out of the artist's work. It is valid. I am the viewer. It is, however, nothing like what the artist wrote about his own work. To read that click here.

I was told that artist Donald Andrus does not stitch as part of his practice.
Interesting post, Sandra. Yes, Andras' work does look like stitching I went to read his statement, and he did say that he likes that people are caught by the pattern in his work. And the repetition.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of Sandra Brownlee's solo exhibition? I'd be interested.
I loved that you said that your opinion is valid because you are the viewer.
Yay , sandra.
