The Gallery Uptown presents: "Wear
Art"
a
Trunk Show of wearable art
by Barbara Fugazzotto, G.G. Havens,
Helen Percy Lystra and Annie Morgan
Opening Reception Friday, July 29 -
5:30pm to 8pm
The show continues on Saturday and Sunday, July
30 and 31.
Gallery hours are: Friday 10-8, Saturday
10-6 and Sunday 12-4 |
Barbara Fugazzotto alters the surface of
fabrics with paint and dye and stitches
other fabrics to the surface. Sewing lines
are a "drawing" element on these "fabric
collages to wear." You'll want to see her
new designs in jackets and scarves.
G. G. Havens has been flameworking glass for
the last 12 years. G. G. was one of only 25
selected glass artists to take a 4-day
intensive Master Glass Bead Making class in
Milwaukee last June. Her new works of scarf
and shawl pins will be available at the Wear
Art Show.
Helen Percy Lystra works with paper and
fabric, often combining them to create small
collages that become pins and necklaces.
She's also been experimenting with Steampunk
and will have a few pieces of these in the
exhibit.
Annie Morgan is a metalsmith and jewelry
designer by trade. Many times she uses found
objects, heirlooms, fabricated metal and an
array of non-traditional items to create her
jewelry. She weaves a certain intimacy into
her art that encourages discovery,
disclosure and revelation.
