Abstract Harmonies
Newark Arts Alliance
Abstract Harmonies is a group exhibition celebrating the creative dialogue between three textile artists: Susan Balascio, Kathleen Remsa and Marcia Weiss.
Their artwork incorporates shifting geometries, ethereal textures and tactile expressions in traditional and non-traditional materials. Inspired and influenced by one another, they strive to expand the boundaries of conventional weaving in subtle and overt approaches. This is highlighted through layers of sculptural tactility, entwined complexity and evocative meaning.
This new body of work illustrates the creative dialogue – the abstract harmonies – that exist between them.
Woven Landscapes
Newark Arts Alliance
Woven Landscapes is an exhibition by fiber artist Susan Balascio that explores the ancient art of weaving as a way to create ethereal, subtly shifting landscape-esque works. In these abstract ‘landscapes’, hue, texture and intensity combine to create the illusion of depth and atmosphere. Balascio works both intuitively and intentionally guiding the hand-dyed fibers to transform into works that are both tranquil and captivating.
