Darrin-McHone Arts Gallery to Feature Quilts
Gallery features contemporary quilts for First Fridays Arts Walk
Harrisonburg, VA, September 1, 2008: The Darrin-McHone Art Gallery in the Smith House will feature an exhibit by F/T: Fiber Transformed, a group of contemporary fiber artists. The exhibit, called “Wish You Were Here,” will be available September 3rd – 25th. The collection of art works was created in response to vacation photos taken by Fiber Transformed group members during their far-flung travels and family vacations.
Each piece reflects the artist’s personal style, mastery of fiber techniques, and visual vocabulary. The works share common themes while presenting a cascade of diverse visual expressions. “Wish You Were Here” offers the viewer the opportunity to experience a particular place and moment in a multifaceted presentation that no single photo can capture, according to the artists’ statement.
