SUMMARY:Textiles That Talk: Tales of Rugged & Refined Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Years of searching for striking fabrics\, fibers and stories culminate in our latest Folk Art is Fine Art installation\, a sensuous journey around the globe with stops in Indonesia\, Japan\, Thailand\, Laos\, Guatemala\, Mexico\, Panama\, Peru\, South Africa\, Madagascar\, Indonesia\, Bangladesh\, Turkey\, Kurdistan and Afghanistan. We chronicle the how and why that is so distinctive to each artist\, spotlighting their creative springboards built from generations of artistry and practice. Common to all: turning out high design with medium derived directly from Mother Nature. \nFind colorful Mayan iconography\, woven and wrapping carved wooden stools; striking Kurdish saddlebags of hand-spun camel hair and wool; Escher-like Indonesian silks. See how daily needs meet art in the form of fish nets\, floor coverings\, amulets and space definers. All exquisite museum-quality\, they are sourced from the earth and long held tradition. Their stories are even more striking.

SUMMARY:SUTRA by Deborah Tomlin
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, Deborah Tomlin was diagnosed with breast cancer from a routine mammogram. She underwent treatment\, which consisted of three different surgeries including a bilateral mastectomy. In SUTRA\, Tomlin chooses to paint her scars and unfamiliar body and to examine the healing process through her art. As Audre Lorde expresses\, in The Cancer Journals\, “Any woman who has had a breast removed because of cancer knows she does not feel the same. But we are allowed no psychic time or space to examine what our true feelings are\, to make them our own. With quick cosmetic reassurance\, we are told that our feelings are not important\, our appearance is all\, the sum total of self.” \nThe title SUTRA in sanskrit means to stitch\, to mend\, to bring together\, to heal. This body of work drew Tomlin to a more abstract approach to painting and drawing including the layering of collage materials and stitching directly on the canvas. Text based on comments by doctors and friends during her treatment is also significant to this work. Painting on top of overflowing and overlapping text expresses Tomlin’s grief and anger. Stitching directly on the canvas with yarn and thread reframes her sutures and scars through the lens of darning and mending\, traditionally women’s work\, transforming an object ripped and torn into a material stronger and more beautiful by the act of repair. \nVisit The Writer’s Center for open hours.

SUMMARY:Art As Inspiration for Blair G. Ewing Students
DESCRIPTION:The Blair G. Ewing Center is MCPS’s Alternative Education Program\, designed to serve students with a variety of learning and social emotional needs. John Charles\, art teacher at the center\, has spent the past several years crafting the visual arts program to allow the students to express their creativity and emotions while also fulfilling their art credit requirements. The classes “blend several studio media\, printmaking\, sculpture\, photography and digital arts” says Charles\, whose own background in silk-screening encourages the students to layer drawings and photographs with abstract elements to create multimedia compositions. The January show will feature large- and small-scale prints from current students and recent alumni.

SUMMARY:Anthropocene Visions and Voices by Keith Kozloff
DESCRIPTION:Anthropocene refers to the current period of Earth’s history\, in which human presence has become evident in geologic strata. The popularized term refers to global long-term impacts from cumulative human activities. Erratic progress in caring for Earth\, as well as my career addressing environmental issues\, motivated me to assemble this exhibit. Accordingly\, I created some pieces to suggest humanity’s fraught relationships with Earth and its non-human beings. \nI chose other pieces to imagine events in deep time in which Earth is oblivious to human inhabitants. The satirist George Carlin once said “Compared to the people\, the planet is doing great: been here four and a half billion years! …The planet has been through a lot worse than us. …We’re going away and we won’t leave much of a trace….The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas…” \nI also wanted to complement visual art with written voices calling out from the Anthropocene. Given the multi-generational implications of the exhibit’s subject matter\, I commissioned a group of local poets\, from early teens to late 70s\, to express their reactions to the artwork. I am hoping that the combination of visual art and poetry will invite viewers to reflect on what kind of ancestors they would like to be. \n The exhibit will be up October 26 through November 22. Gallery hours are 1:00-6:00 Thursday through Sunday.

SUMMARY:Songlines: Contemporary Aboriginal Masters
DESCRIPTION:Across the vast and rugged expanses of Australia’s Central Desert\, Aboriginal Peoples have long recorded their journeys with ritual songs. Over sandhills\, along rock formations and salty lakes\, in caves and on weathered sandstone mesas\, women stop to take stock of their surroundings\, to remember the land of their forebears\, to honor their heritage. They are the dancers\, singers and orators doing the critical work for their survival. Examining the earth’s floor all the way up to the galaxies\, they assess their geographics\, their water sources\, what is edible\, medicinal and forbidden of local plants and animals. Reveling in daylight travel and night constellations\, their rhythm\, their melodies are informed by a belief system that has coursed through time. \nPainters have been essential in Aboriginal clans as they capture these ceremonies of song and movement by plotting symbols\, landmarks and colors in meticulous mappings of past\, present and future. The renderings are called “Dreamings\,” and the lines\, dots\, circles\, U-shapes\, concentrics and rectangles depict age-old treks and current topography. \nOur focus has been on Australia’s Central Desert\, and this year we showcase the founders of Papunya’s modernist movements and some of their direct disciples. Giants among them are Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri and Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula\, two of the first Aboriginal artists to put acrylic on canvas and two Chairmans of the Papunya Tula Artists.  Possum’s strikingly detailed Dreamings enlivened generations to come. Tolson’s mesmerizing mix of color and form transcends the Central Desert with an unmistakably mid-century feel. \nThey mentored (and in some instances\, parented) leading painters featured on our walls\, We are proud to feature ​ Bambatu Campbell Napangardi’s woven ​paint\, Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi’s vivid perspective\, Julie Nangala’s sinuous waterflow\, Betty Mbitjana’s bold body design\, William Sandy’s​ desert wildlife tracks; Nellie Marks Nakamarra’s​ balance of ​earth’s richest tones\, and Timmy Payungka Tjapangati’s maze-like reductionist work.
