Pat Pauly, “Leap of Faith”, 2011.

Pat Pauly’s "Leap of Faith" has been accepted into "Textiles in a Tube". This juried exhibition of contemporary textiles runs from March 4, 2011 to April 15, 2011 at the RIVERWORKS Gallery, Greenville Technical College’s downtown gallery at Art Crossing on Riverwalk in Greenville, South Carolina. The challenge was to enter works that could be shipped in a 3" x 36" mailing tube. Pat was intrigued with that odd set of rules, and "Leap of Faith" is the result.

March 2 – 26, 2011

RECEPTION:  Thursday March 3, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
    
info@phoenix-gallery.com

-- In this new work, Pat Hickman and Joan Harmon speak to their relationship with the Hudson River, the body of water on whose west bank they both live.

 
In her work Joan Harmon is charting the Hudson through the duel lenses of Google Earth and her daily view of the River. These new drawings combine her fascination with the river’s shape as an abstract form with the ancient art of mapping. 


Pat Hickman is working with what is found beneath the surface. When trees fall into the water, over decades they decay, eventually disappearing into the river bottom. What resists this disintegration are the strange shapes formed where the branch joined the trunk, a cross-grained, pitch hardened core like a tooth in a human head. Hickman is exploring visual metaphors with these river teeth, the last part of the body to let go.

Hours: Tuesday through Saturday 11:30 – 6:00 PM

A NEW BOOK BY MARGARET PEOT AVAILABLE MARCH 1

Inkblot_jkt_comps8.302[1]

Inkblot: Drip, Splat, and Squish Your Way to Creativity

Leonardo da Vinci saw landscapes and battles in the swirls of a marble wall. The novelist Victor Hugo splashed coffee and wine on paper and found castles and monsters in the spatters. Now, author Margaret Peot shows how anyone can use inkblots as keys to creativity.

For decades, the author has been using the inkblots she makes to spark her own creativity. Now she shares her insights and techniques: From basic tips on paper and ink to advanced approaches for transforming splatters and ink blobs into works of art, she sets readers on a path to creating their own inkblot art. Her enthusiastic text and step-by-step approach will encourage even the most reluctant artist, and inspire readers to create works that are uniquely their own.

Each chapter features a step towards a more fluid relationship with the reader’s right brain:

  1. Making Inkblots
  2. Drawing Into Inkblots
  3. How to Look, How to See
  4. The Inkblot Sketchbook
  5. The Final Fold

Inkblots are tools for overcoming creative blocks, for inspiring ideas, and for opening up avenues for creative expression. Anyone can use this fun and fascinating method to jump-start creative thought.
