FiberArt Exhibit











A friend and I went to see the Columbia FiberArt Guild's exhibit at Portland's Museum of Contemporary Craft today. It was very cool. A smaller exhibit than I expected, but still thoroughly enjoyable. Each of 21 artists has just one piece, and each is uniquely thought-provoking. Our own Laura Joy Fendel has a moving fabric construction with Hebrew text, and my guest was so impressed that I "know the artist."

If you haven't seen this exhibit yet, you've gotta move fast! It's only there till this Saturday. It's in the "Lab," upstairs, in conjunction with a larger exhibit focused on Books. Also, be sure to spend a few minutes in the gift Gallery downstairs to see some awesome fine craft works.

Laura Joy!

A piece by our very own Laura Joy Fendel has been selected as one of 21 to be included in a special exhibit at Portland's Museum of Contemporary Craft. The Community Showcase exhibit includes works of art by members of the Columbia FiberArts Guild, exploring the theme of "text." Laura's piece is a fabric sculpture with Marcia Falk's version of the Hebrew "Modeh Ani" blessing. The exhibition lasts through December 4th.
