City Gallery presents Revisions, a group of works incorporating textile, encaustic, and hand made paper by Freddi Elton and Myra Serrins, from January 2nd through January 26th, 2014. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 4th, from 1-4pm.
In considering the basis of the show, both Freddi and Myra were drawn to the past – they have been friends for many years, and both were struggling to resolve work that was begun years ago. The process of taking time to revisit and reconsider both work and friendship has been rewarding on many levels – personally because distance had made their contacts less and less frequent and artistically, because while working in very different media, they faced similar issues in resolving their pieces.
We hope you will come to view the exhibit and consider how two very different artists have dealt with similar problems. Please come by the gallery Thursday through Sunday from 12-4pm or call for an appointment.
