Weaving Fabric into Sculpture

Posted by sharonp on

Very recently my experimental mind started playing with the possibilities of adding fabrics and recycled accessories to my found object sculptures. So along with all the cardboard and found metal objects to collect, I am now adding belts, ties and scarves to the mix. I love the juxtaposition of incongruent materials and color.

Since I had a few armatures already made and waiting for the perfect endings, I began playing with my newfound treasures. Color is ever important in my work , so weaving color into these sculptures was essential.

One of these recent sculptures was juried into the Through the Eye of the Needle exhibition at Hudson Valley MOCA in Peekskill NY. This is the third annual juried exhibition in this exciting venue and I was honored to be chosen to participate. Peekskill is a very artsy community about an hour north of New York City.

Art Exhibitions

Almost every month my paintings and sculpture work goes on exhibit in a new art venue. As an artist, I am constantly searching for new exhibition opportunities. It is part of what being an artist entails, especially if you are trying to achieve even a glimmer of exposure and recognition. You have to pay your dues.

While most of my time is spent designing and creating my art, time is also spent delivering artwork to galleries for exhibitions and then often retrieving pieces that haven’t sold.

In August 2019, one of the exhibitions that I was invited to participate in was a Sculpture Walk in Blowing Rock, NC. Although this is quite an endeavor to transport large sculptures to exhibit outdoors, it is an opportunity to meet possible new collectors. It was a beautiful setting and quite a well organized event.
