"Woven" Fiber Art Exhibition at Mercy Gallery

"Woven" is the title of the unique new exhibit featuring the works of six nationally recognized fiber artists at the Sue and Eugene Mercy Jr. Gallery located in the Richmond Art Center on the campus of The Loomis Chaffee School. The show will run from February 21 through April 24.

Curated by Elizabeth Whyte Schulze, "Woven" features the works of Rebecca Siemering, Nancy Moore Bess, Nancy Koenigsberg, Mary Kasper and Schulze. The show presents an unusual range of materials used by the artists who weave, bind, fold and coil. The sculptures, vessels and wall hangings are constructed using industrial wire, discarded lottery tickets, hand dyed wool, pine needles, raffia, Japanese papers, and wax encrusted muslin.

"The artwork included in the show challenges any notion that contemporary woven art is staid, in fact I think you will find quite the opposite is true," noted curator Schulze. "The show is an opportunity to experience fiber art as vibrant and even fun," she concluded. In addition, viewers may take in the experience of SLIDE, an installation by Lorrie Fredette.

There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, February 21, from 6:45 8:45 p.m. The public is invited to attend the opening reception and view the exhibitions during regular gallery hours. The Sue and Eugene Mercy, Jr. Gallery is located in the Richmond Art Center on the campus of The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 9 p.m. and Sunday afternoon from 1 4 p.m. There is no admission charge. Please note that the gallery is closed during school vacations. For additional information, call the Richmond Art Center Information Line, 860-687-6030 or visit www.mercygallery.org.
