After the Rain

Voices is a fiber art invitational organized by Anne Hiemstra. The show features work from nine fiber artists showing work that expresses their individual artist voices.
For the visual artist, “voice” is a metaphor for the distinct and
recognizable manner in which we communicate with the viewer. The vocal
artist uses pitch, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, phrasing, and (usually)
words to convey mood, emotion, and meaning; the visual artist uses line,
color, shape, texture, value, and (sometimes) words to do the same.
Voice is more than style.
It includes both technique and content. It is rooted in our own
personal space – our experiences, understanding, and interpretations of
life, and our choices of medium and techniques. Finding one’s voice is
not often easy, quick, or simple, but once found, it will tell truth to
the viewer.
By presenting a body of work from each of several artists, “Voices”
gives viewers the opportunity to “listen” to the work as a whole &
explore how the artist’s voice informs each piece within the group.
The exhibit includes work from Jill Ault, Kathie Briggs, Barbara Bushey, Anne Hiemstra, Sue Holdaway Heys, Lynn Krawczyk, Carol Myers, Joan Potter Thomas and Desiree Vaughn.
