Reception: January 8, 5-7 pm

Artists and designers today are finding innovative and surprising ways to combine the fields of fashion, environmentalism, ecology, and art. For this exhibition, creatives were invited to submit works that address the issues of sustainability and eco-consciousness in the context of fashion and wearable art. Artwork, garments, and designs could be created from sustainable materials, address sustainability as a practice, challenge our definition of fashion itself, and/or present wearable eco-friendly works.

Featuring work by Crane Arts Artists: 

Kelton Bumgarner, Danielle Bursk, Justin Bursk, Bailey Chick, Dianne Hricko, Richard Hricko, Jennifer Johnson, Nick Kripal, Jude Lang, Kyle Lopinto, Susan Moore, John Roebas, Rebecca Rutstein, Rebecca Saylor Sack, Kristin Schatterfield-Rein, Tim Schwartz, Colleen McCubbin Stephanic, Ian White Williams, and Dganit Zauberman

Donna Quinn exhibits her latest group of abstract paintings. This recent body of work builds upon her materials-driven process to create layers of paint and mixed media that develop highly textured fields of color etched with organic lines, intuitive marks, and repetitive shapes.

In my paintings and works on paper, elements of nature are magnified, overlapped and obscured, reflecting the continual growth and change, which is the touchstone of the natural world. By altering the scale of the forms and elements, the work suggests shared origins: cellular structures, earth and landscape formations.
