"Wood Cut Dress"
print
|
Paula Cox
I painted in oils and paint sticks for many years on
paper. I have always had an interest in pattern,
color and texture in my work. About 10 years ago I
began to do relief printmaking using woodcuts and
linoleum. I now solely use linoleum because of the
ease in cutting and the line quality of the carved
plate. 5-6 years ago I began to learn papermaking
and book arts. Combining printmaking with handmade
paper has been something I've been exploring and
enjoying. I like to play with my images and medium
in the studio and see what happens. Book arts is a
demanding medium for me but one that I respect very
much.

"Red Rose Pot" earthenware

Diana Kersey
Diana Kersey is a visual artist who works in clay,
creating both studio pottery and architectural
ceramics. Her work possesses a raw, textural
quality, with the clay encompassed in a translucent,
earthy glaze. The birds, insects, fish, and flowers
present in her work suggest a primordial narrative,
while the underlying decorative grids and motifs
capture the relentless energy, complexity, any
contradictions that pulse through our contemporary
society.

"Fig Leaf Paper"
handmade paper |
Georgie Cunningham
I began my career as a graphic designer and then
found that my interests in hand papermaking, fiber,
and weaving were taking me in an entirely new
direction. I now spend my studio time making paper
and creating woven paper tapestries, handmade paper
screens, and wall hangings.
Using rich, bold color and repeating patterns, I
weave my handmade paper with mixed media, found
objects, and other paper. I use a traditional method
of papermaking working with a western style mould
and deckle. My paper varies from heavy in texture
and color to smooth and translucent.

Found, La Villita
(Click images for larger view.) |
|
Our joint venture for Building 24
is based upon the following premise and definition
of the word “found”: to establish or set up,
especially with provision for continuing existence.
Synonyms for “found” include: create, establish,
institute, organize. These verbs mean to bring
something into existence and set it in operation:
such as the founding of our new and fresh approach
to the arts community of La Villita and the city of
San Antonio. Our gallery is the collective
inspiration of three nationally recognized San
Antonio artists who have come together to install,
exhibit, sale and promote the arts. The basis of our
gallery’s visual installation includes a vast and
diverse range of cultural icons, contemporary art
and antique objects such as: early Texas furniture,
pottery and
paintings; artwear; vintage chandeliers and lamps
with artist-designed shades; contemporary mixed
media sculptures; Alamo pottery; work by nationally
acclaimed folk artists such as Beatrice Jiminez,
Jimmy Sudduth and Mose Tolliver; artist-made beaded
ornaments; contemporary art cloth; miscellaneous
artist-designed garden and ornamental objects; a
quality selection of first edition books about
Texas; 19th century niches; beaded flowers from the
1940s; vintage textiles from the 1950s; early Texas
maps; work by acclaimed San Antonio ceramist Harding
Black; late 19th century botanical etchings and
more. The prices will range from $2.50 to $4,500.

Mesa Arch Detail |
As a photographer, I
am interested in how
complex ideas,
technologies,
landscapes, and
realities can be
composed and
re-composed in
simple and direct
ways. Ironically,
this sometimes means
abstracting and
decontextualizing
pieces of reality.
In an abstracted
image, a vending
machine can become
the ocean, a twisted
piece of junk metal
a sculpture. The
sky may remain the
sky but it is still
for a moment.
I believe in the
notion that some
photographs are
given, not taken.
This requires that
body, mind and
camera remain open.
My recent work in
night photography
has given this idea
a new medium. Long
exposures require
waiting, staring
into the darkness,
trusting the mystery
and surprise that
will emerge, with
time.
