Follow on Google News | Kindred Sisters In Complexity and TechniqueAlice Levinson and Pringle Teetor are masters of fabric and glass.
Pringle Teetor is introducing a new line of blown glass which she calls “Bubbleware.” Alice Levinson describes the complexity of her work, "I am drawn to the tactile nature of fabric, finding delight in its ‘hand.’ I experiment freely with dye, and pigments to create cloth which is complex in texture and rich in visual interest. Each composition is built of successive layering of fabric and thread.” Her work process is intuitive and encourages spontaneity and experimentation. “The studio is a joyful place, says Levinson. “In both process and form, my abstract compositions are guided by content and conceptual intention.” Daily journaling is an important step in her process. Work on a piece begins with a thought, a feeling, a mood, or narrative. “Next I experiment with visual motifs that embody the content. Then I gather my ‘palette’ from my stash of cloth and thread. In a final step I select a construction method that is consistent with, and extends, the metaphor of the theme of the piece. Working each piece becomes a meditation on its central theme. My working process is slow and labor-intensive. Stitch by stitch, layer by layer the piece evolves.” Considering the theme, “kindred,” KINDRED will run from August 25th through September 21st with an opening reception from 6-9pm on August 29th during Hillsborough’ Founded in 2006, the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts (HGA) is owned and operated by 22 local artists.
