Quilted Impressions
Opening Reception – Friday, November 1, 5-8pm
(Raffle with proceeds benefiting the Congaree Riverkeeper)
Artist Demonstrations- November 4 & 11, 1-4pm
Artist Talk- Sunday, November 10, 2pm
Janet Swigler is the artist behind Quilted Impressions, on display Oct. 30th- Nov. 16th.
Janet Swigler’s process of cutting free-hand and working intuitively without the use of templates, honors the tradition of quilting and shows the versatility of the medium. The artist has worked in this style for five years while studying with Nancy Crow, a Renwick Alliance Master of the Medium. Janet’s work is inspired by observations of daily life, reflections on nature, and personal insights that are then presented abstractly. The use of color, improvisation, and imaginative re-structuring of a simple shape are important components.

Faulty Kaleidoscope
November 13 – 17, 2019
The rising artists of SVAD Photo want to position you to question…well, to question a secret about secrets, perhaps. Through multiple lenses becoming a kaleidoscope, we invite you to bear witness to a collection of images, prints on walls which offer a faulty glimpse of realities lived and lives continually realized. Paper negatives will ask you to utilize technology to reveal what you might not readily see. Photographs and other image-based media rely on you to peer beyond what surfaces can reveal.
Open to the public during normal gallery hours.
