Michael James exhibit references natural forms using digital techniques such as Photoshop and large fabric printer. He was one of the key speakers at the conference. It was interesting to see how his quilts evolved.

In the adjoining gallery was Naomi's exhibit. Her artwork merges African artistic traditions with contemporary concepts. I really felt a connection with Naomi's artwork. I'm so glad I was able to view the exhibit in person.

Oh, gosh! I'll bet you enjoyed these exhibits to the fullest. Your art definitely has much in common with them. These works were exhilarating. I know that taking the time to edit down all the pictures you took at the conference has to be very labor intensive and keeps you from creating your own works, but, as a devote of your art, I really appreciate taking this virtual tour with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you enjoyed viewing all my posts. It has been labor intensive but worth it. This conference really fed my creative soul.xoxo Mia
