Concurrent Solo Exhibitions: Kristy Bishop & Anne T. Nielsen
In her exhibit, MetaWeaves, Charleston-based textile artist Kristy Bishop features a collection of fiber works that draw inspiration from the rich history of tablet weaving. By delving into the historical roots of weaving, she honors the craft’s heritage while infusing it with contemporary vision and freedom. Bishop meticulously weaves a series of bands with unique patterns and color using inkle, rigid heddle, and tablet weaving, and then interweaves those bands into ever-growing compositions.
Dreams and Visions features a mesmerizing collection of Anne T. Nielsen’s latest oil paintings. Each piece is a vivid exploration of the symbolism that emerged from her dreams and visions. Nielsen’s paintings invite viewers to delve into a world where subconscious imagery transforms into profound visual narratives, offering an ultimate journey through the ethereal landscapes of her imagination.
A free public reception will be held on Friday, October 4, from 5-7 p.m.
