Katherine Glover, New Work on View at Duane Reed Gallery, St. Louis

I took a partial hiatus from studio work during the first half of 2014 to curate the show, "Game Changers: Fiber Art Masters and Innovators", on view this fall at Fuller Craft Museum.  

I also spent some luxurious time experimenting with other media -- clay and pâte de verre, more on those later -- and making small maquettes to test new imagery and techniques for future panels.  By mid-summer I was ready to get back into the studio and kick some serious butt in preparation for the fall-winter art show season,

Two recently-completed panels feature new approaches that emerged from this semi-sabbatical. "Unwrapped" is my first panel design to incorporate a recognizable figurative element, in this case, an unfurling ribbon.  "Listen" incorporates a contrasting-color background, which emerges as its own significant design element, along with extreme exploration of topographic flow.

These two pieces, in company with "Fire in the Lake" (see blog entry of March 13, 2013), are on view September 12 - October 18, 2014, in the show, "Repetition, Rhythm, Pattern", curated by Jane Sauer, at the Duane Reed Gallery.
