SUMMARY:Art Quilts: Breaking Rules\, Honoring Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Image: Vicki Conley\, Tree Rings \nFor our 28th annual Art Quilts exhibition\, the tension between pushing boundaries versus adhering to tried-and-true methods plays out in fiber form. We invited rule-breakers and traditionalists alike to interpret the theme in a variety of ways\, including applying it to physical techniques\, materials\, construction methods\, personal narratives\, or commentary on social\, cultural and political concerns. In addition to traditional quilting fabrics\, materials may include alternative substrates like wood\, paper\, or metal. All submissions – traditional\, unconventional\, or a combination of both – were considered for craftsmanship\, originality\, design\, and concept. \nThis exhibition was juried by Shelly White\, a Fiber/Mixed media artist and museum-arts educator. Using hand-dyed and printed textiles\, found papers and maps\, she creates contemporary artworks that honor the spirit of traditional quilting. Within the concept of navigation\, her work addresses ways in which we move through and across real and imagined geographies and the emotional passage of time. Shelly works as the Education Specialist for Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa\, AZ and has exhibited in numerous local and national venues. \nhttps://shellywhitestudios.com/ \nhttps://www.instagram.com/shellywhitestudios/ \nExhibiting Artists \nSusan Allred\, Linda Anderson\, Betty Busby\, Abby Christensen\, Vicki Conley\, Denise A Currier\, Heidi Dauphin\, Karla Elling\, Diane English\, Linda Engstrom\, Laurie Fagen\, Victoria Findlay Wolfe\, Debra Goley\, Betty Hahn\, Marla Hattabaugh\, Janet Hiller\, Debra Kay\, Shari Keith\, Patty Kennedy-Zafred\, Shelley Koss\, Linda Laird\, Linda McCurry\, Margot McDonnell\, Anne Moats\, Anne Muñoz\, Frances Murphy\, Frauke Palmer\, Denneen Peterson\, Wendy Raisanen\, Redfox\, Sue Reno\, Judith Roderick\, Shelley Ann Rothgeb\, Brenda H Smith\, Aimee Smythe\, Linda Stern\, Ann Turley\, Claire Victor\, Rosanna Lynne Welter\, and Martha Wolfe \nBreaking Rules\, Honoring Tradition Catalogue\nTake the exhibit home with you!

SUMMARY:Nuance/Nuisance
DESCRIPTION:In the overwhelmingly urban Phoenix Valley\, the cacti and coyote of the desert can often feel distant – like a backdrop to our daily lives. As we drive air-conditioned cars between air-conditioned houses and air-conditioned jobs\, the environment can go woefully unnoticed and sometimes unappreciated\, even if it is physically close. The artists in Nuance/Nuisance invite viewers to roll down their windows and connect with the natural world that surrounds them. \nWhen Daniella Napolitano moved here from the Southeast\, she was surprised to learn that many of the long-time residents she met could not name a single native animal. In response\, she created prints and posters that use humor to call attention to the local fauna. Arizona native Gina DeGideo’s photo installations exude a sense of meditation while moving throughout the landscape as she pays homage to the overlooked parts of her natural surroundings. Rebecca Pipkin’s site-responsive work methodically documents the effects of illegally dumped plant waste in the South Mountain Preserve. The stark contrast between native and non-native flora evident in her artwork highlights the impact we have on nature. \nWe all exist as creatures in an ecosystem\, whether we think about it or not. So\, the next time you’re hiking a trail\, on a walk in your neighborhood\, or even just sitting on your patio\, take a moment to reflect on your connections to your surroundings\, and what affect you would like to have on them. \nExhibition Photos
