New Show at HandeMade in America: In Our Own Words: Language as Craft

February 13- May 4,2012  In Our Own Words: Language as Craft  - The exhibit features eleven local craft artists, each sharing the results of a creative experiment at Handmade in America. An Opening Reception will be held February 17 from 5:30 – 8 PM at the HandMade in America Gallery at 125 South Lexington Avenue, Suite 101.

In a reversal of the usual process of making an object and then explaining it in words, a personally-resonant word was first chosen by each artist as the impetus for the making of an object. “We find not the phrasing to describe our work, but rather the craft to depict our language”, says one of the artists.

From fine furniture and woven sculpture to exquisitely created wall pieces, In Our Own Words is a playful exhibit with visual, verbage and vital messages.


Artists featured in this exhibition are: Fatie Atkinson, Caryl Brt, Hayley Davison, Melissa Engler, Carla and Greg Filippelli, Wayne Fowler, Susan Link, Journel Thomas, Jenna Weston, and Jamie Womack.
