My friend Tanya is having her first solo exhibition in a few weeks time here in Berkeley. In her own words:
"Other people's..." is a one night
only exhibition by Textile Artist Tanya Stanyer. An exhibition of
drawings and embroideries inspired by the lives of others. In many of my
pieces the subject matter are the people, but just as important are
their surroundings. There was also an element of interaction in the
making of the artwork as some of it has been created by requesting
pictures of pets on a social networking site. The people who responded
to this have almost curated part of the exhibition themselves in a
sense. All that was asked from them was photographs of their pets and
permission to use them for an exhibition."

Sounds like a great exhibition for anyone interested in drawings and embroideries. Did you go?
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. Yes, I did go and I loved seeing her work she's a very talented embroiderer.
