My diminutive textile sculpture, “Shelter”, (measuring 6” x 7”) recently won Best In Show at the Jamestown Arts Center members’ show. I’m a big fan of The Jamestown Arts Center and submit work for their annual members’ show most years. This year the theme of the show was “Quar-ART-ine”, art made during the pandemic in 2020. “Shelter” is made out of both handwoven and purchased cloth that has been dyed, painted and stitched together by hand and by machine. Susan Gosin, a Brooklyn papermaker, judged the show and had some nice things to say about the piece. As reported in the Jamestown Press, Gosin described the artwork as “a small, powerful piece” with “strength and humor.” She said it was “very sophisticated,” and made “great use of materials” that created “a sense of space with a beautiful design and colors.” Here she is!
