Entrance banner in the atrium of the Perelman Building at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The black and white triangular motif announces the importance of geometric patterning in the arts of Africa.
This summer the Philadelphia Museum of Art is featuring art, textiles, design and architecture from Africa. Starting with a loan exhibition from the Penn Museum’s distinguished collection of African materials, the exhibits feature contemporary photography, fashion, textile design, and architecture, as well as traditional textiles and ritual objects. I know almost nothing about Africa, so I learned much about the people and culture of this fascinating continent.
Scribbled Triangles, monotype print available in my Etsy Shop
I’ve added a series of 5 monotypes to my Etsy Shop. I was inspired by two things: the current MoMA exhibit on Degas and his monotypes, and a recent workshop at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
My piece, Vibrating Triangles (Gray on Black), won an Honorable Mention award at Trenton Artworks 3rd Annual Print Exhibition. This is the piece I wrote about last month as I was framing it for the show.
Strips of acid-free backing board glued into position. The strips hold the glass in place and create a shadow box so the print can be mounted floating free without a mat.
I've been framing a new piece that was recently accepted in to the Third Annual Juried Print Exhibition at Artworks Trenton. I have to deliver it this week, so it's been on the work table in the studio.
