Where oh where to begin? I have been scrolling up and down this post saying that one,no that one, but what about that one? as I try to choose my favourite - they nearly all speak to me and make me want to reach out thru the screen and visit them. First of all Jiyoung Chung's startling work, but what about Virginia and Jon and John and Norma and John…Your eyes must have been so full! Thanks for sharing, again.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes were full Fiona. I saw a lot...and missed a lot. If it was in a cabinet, I tended to not look too closely - too much glare and reflection. Jiyoung Chung's Joomchi is simply wonderful. I thought of you and Susan while viewing her work...wondered what you'd do with a sheet of her paper. My other favorites are Ann Coddington Rast (from part 1), Jon Eric Riis, Lia Cook, Piper Shepard and Wendeanne Ke'aka Stitt.
DeleteYou know...this is a biennial... Next one is this time in 2016. Just imagine visiting then instead of in December...and bring Susan...and I'll bring Pam....
mind boggling what a wonderful exhibit! you must have been in heaven. thanks so much for sharing the pics.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome Lyle! This is always a good exhibit to see. I'm already looking forward to the next one in 2016.
DeleteWow, amazing, the weaving puts mine to same and Jiyoung Chung's work, most of the artists in fact, I'm speechless.
ReplyDeleteJiyoung Chung's joomchi is exquisite. I've had the pleasure of seeing it numerous times. One of these days, I hope to own a piece. Enjoy!
DeleteWow- what incredible talent, and the many many hours of work represented here! Thanks, again, for posting this so all of us who couldn't be there can see it...

DeleteOh wow, what a treat! I enjoyed seeing Jiyoung Chung's new work and love Joe Hogan's birch basket. Thanks for taking us on the tour.
