A story about coming home. Featuring artwork by Emelie Richardson, Michael Sharf, Briana Devoe White, Debra Fritts, Rebecca Mapes, Angela Nicholas, Jim Olarte, Anna Sheffield, and Logan Wannamaker. Curated by Gallerist, Kelly Dye from Berkeley, CA.

Following the thread through histories, mining the past to ground wholly in presence. Inviting reflection and a coalescence of all the parts that bring us to this singular moment of beauty and collaboration. A bright beginning in time-worn territory, weaving the old with the new.

EMELIE RICHARDSON

Emelie Richardson’s handwoven works blur the boundaries of traditional craft and painting. In Emelie’s handwoven paintings, chance and improvisation have become integral elements to the laborious process of weaving, in which fluid line and form cannot be easily controlled. Allowing the materials to play a large role in informing the work, Emelie highlights spontaneous subtle shifts in surface texture and tonality. Emelie currently lives and works in Chimayo, New Mexico.

JIM OLARTE

Olarte’s work ranges from large to small installations created out of marine objects that he’s found or salvaged. Each piece, whether a delicate seashell or a piece of wave-tumbled driftwood, is treated with respect, as coequal elements of an infinity of integrated life cycles. These bits from the sea and shore are often knotted into his macrame art. He doesn’t drill holes into any natural element of the earth, shells or rocks, but only uses their natural or eroded holes and openings.
