Two Textile Artists Speak Their Truths With Color
Julie Sevilla Drake, "White Raven Steals Crayons"
|
The Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum is pleased to present new exhibits by two textile artists who use vibrant color to express their inner thoughts.
Julie Sevilla Drake is a quilt artist living on Fidalgo Island after transplanting from Alaska. The self taught artist's bold and bright abstract quilts are created through hand-dyed cotton cut without a template or ruler. The resulting works are bold, abstract quilts with dense surface design and texture. Drake's quilts have been featured locally at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Whatcom Lightcatcher Museum, Smith and Vallee Gallery, Schack ARt Center, Museum of Northwest Art, Anchorage Museum at Rasmussen Cetner, UAF Museum of the North, and UAA Hugh McPeck Gallery. Recently, Julie was featured in the series Art by Northwest with a feature story about her art and process! Click HERE to watch the full video created by PBS! Thirteen Ways of Looking is titled after the Wallace Stevens poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking At A Blackbird." It showcases Drake's impressions of the beauty she finds in nature and the things that surround her and bring her joy. Thirteen Ways of Looking is featured in the First Floor gallery from July 31 - October 6 |
Kendall Ross, "Big Feelings"
Kendall Ross, also known by @id.knit.that is an Oklahoma City-based fiber artist who creates hand-knitted sculptural and wearable art from wool. She uses intricate colorwork to convey provocative, playful and deeply private messages. With a B.A. in History from Pepperdine University, Ross uses her exploration of the traditionally domestic and "feminine" craft of knitting yarn to express her experiences being a young woman in modern society while also exploring the bias against the display of "domestic arts" in the contemporary "fine arts" arena.
The exhibit Having A Moment refers both to the artist's subject of her own momentary thoughts, and also to this pivotal moment in Ross's artistic journey. Recently having been featured in many national magazines like Glamour, Colossal, and Surface Design Journal, Ross has already made her make with her unique perspective and her engaging and quirky designs.
Having A Moment is Featured in the Third Floor Gallery from July 31 - October 6.
