“Art with Nature in Mind” July 15 – September 14

In the Mezzanine Gallery

July 15 – September 14

“Art With Nature in Mind” Ceramic and Mixed Media Sculptural Works by Denise Incao

4th Friday Art Walk reception with Denise July 28th and August 25th  5:00 – 7:00 PM

“I choose to work without drawings or plans in most cases, allowing a natural expressionistic process to unfold. Much of what comes through is influenced by years of adventures in nature, travel, my education in anthropology and psychology, and love of all that is close to the Earth and that reflects her mystery and bounty. My art is my soul’s work and is a celebration of life.” ~ Denise Incao

Denise’s love of nature and intimate relationship to the natural world are reflected in her choice of materials, textures, colors, and titles for her sculptural works. From the use of clay, Earth’s most primal element, as her main medium to the inclusion of found natural objects, upcycled old rusty things, and discarded broken jewelry and treasures, you can feel her consideration, wonder, and respect for the natural world that is constantly inspiring her work.

Layers of intricate texture seem to trace eons of geologic time; myriads of tiny shapes form fluid patterns glazed and painted in a shimmering earthen palette; playful prints and a delightful effusion of ornaments are brought together to convey harmony, movement, tenderness, joy, and abundance. The result is a celebration of the organic innocence of the natural world, and the noble grace with which Nature ultimately brings all things, including human beings and our creations, back into balance.

September 15 – November 14

“The Artists’ Attic 2023″ Fiber creations by Jo Manginelli, felt sculpture by Debra Salazar, and textile works by Judy Book

4th Friday Art Walk reception with Jo and Debra September 22 and October 27th  5:00 – 7:00 PM

 

Jo Manginelli

I have enjoyed creating with fiber for as long as I can remember.  In my youth I learned to crochet, knit , sew and quilt and as many girls did, I would weave pot holders on a hand loom.  I loved the process of weaving even then, but could only do it on a small scale for lack of space.  There wasn’t a lot of room for a floor loom in a New York apartment.

When my husband and I retired to Prescott, I finally had an opportunity to learn the art of weaving.  I’ve been weaving for 19 years now and still feel such an excitement  each time I sit  at my loom and begin to weave a new piece.  There are such a multitude of structures and fibers to work with  allowing me to play with colors, patterns and texture.  There’s always new adventures to explore at the loom.

Debra Salazar

Debra is a local fiber artist using wool roving to create whimsical animal sculptures. The process to create them is called needle felting.  Each has their very own personality sometimes serene or full of mischief and occasionally just plain grumpy.

“Felting is also exciting to me. It’s a more freeing to work with fiber off the grid.   In a way it’s more tactile and I find I use different color pallettes when I felt.

Judy Book

“Remnant”
“Geometric Leaf Study”
“Color of Water”

Before  retiring to Prescott, Judy’s creations were mostly items of clothing and an occasional quilted wall hanging. In 2007 she began participating in Prescott Fine Arts exhibits, creating works using a less traditional approach to textile art.

As a member of “Tangled Textiles”, an online fiber art challenge group, she began  to try many different techniques and methods. Printing  on fabric with a desktop printer allowed her to incorporate text and  personal images  in her work.  In addition, fabric dyeing and mono printing are also methods she used to create unique fabrics. Recycled tea bags and envelopes have even found their way into some creations. Fused fabric collages are another method of creating textile art which has unlimited possibilities.

Eco printing, a method of using moist heat to transfer the pigment from dried or fresh leaves onto fabric, was added to her repertoire of fiber art techniques. This process never ceases to amaze and no two creations are ever identical.

The connection that ART makes transcends all boundaries of time and space.

In this show, we want to showcase and spotlight our connections: between family/friends, our natural world and people of different cultures. Our ode to hope is for this to be a celebration of all that we share and our commitment to a better world through the garments and adornments we choose, both upcycled and hand painted originals.
