3rd Juried Exhibition: Through the Eye of the Needle

Thru the Eye of the Needle

“Are you from Pumbedita, where they push an elephant through the eye of a needle?”
Rav Sheishet of Nehardea (Babylonian Talmud, Baba Metzia, 38b).

An aphorism for convoluted reasoning

Sewing, weaving, braiding, knotting…

 The enormity and disparateness of culture integrated into the warp and woof of the artist 

Are you an artist using stitchery, macramé and weaving, integrating shards of pottery, found objects and recyclables, bottle caps and shells of the beach into your complex tapestries?

Then this is a call to you!!!

Hudson Valley MOCA’s third Juried exhibition

In addressing the use of hand crafting to reflect on cultural diversity, regional craft and environmental issues we look to a history spanning millennia, from the feather collages and paintings of Peru, to the contemporary works of El Anatsui, to the computer detritus integrated by Moffet Takadiwa in his keyboard beading, to the constructs of Leonardo Drew or Liza Lew.  Shells embedded into weavings, rubies and gems into medieval tapestry, hair for embroidery, recycled wool for warmth.  There is a world to explore, a language to decode.
