Studio Envy

Running a gallery takes a lot of work. A lot. Seriously. A lot. But there are perks to this biz, and one of them would be visiting artists' studios!

In the process of putting together Undomesticated, Stephanie L. and I have been visiting a few studios. There is something to be said when visiting an artist's studio or home. First off, they are amazing! There is so much to look at and admire. And of course when you walk into an artist's space, there's not only her art but the art of many others. It's sacred in a way. Walking into a sacred space with living, breathing art. To look at a piece as it's being created is fascinating. And it's easy to let your eyes get lost in the myriad storage of colorful fabric, yarn, beads, and materials.

I'm very thankful to all of the Undomesticated artits Rebecca, Jennifer, Emily, Christy, Christine, Sara, Giorgianne, and Shannon. You have been wonderful to work with and I enjoyed the meetings, visits, and especially your enthusiasm and passion for your art. We are honored to show your work in our gallery and we look forward to many more visits...

In celebration of Women's History Month and National Craft Month, this exhibition shares the work of ten artists who knit, sew, weave, embroider, bead, and crochet. These crafts were long considered to e traditional, domestic, and "women's work" that many women were expected to learn. For generations these beautiful techniques were passed down with the main intent of taking care of family and filling a home. We knitted and sewed items to clothe our families. We wove, embroidered, and crocheted to fill our homes with intricacy and love. In Undomesticated, we honor this heritage through modern interpretations of necessity-driven set of skills as a means of artistic expression.
