Six of my Fiber Forms were selected by artist Mandy Cano Villalobos to be included in an exhibition at a SiTE:LAB event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The exhibit, Ignoble in Between is based upon
the mundane gaps that occupy the space between when we are born and when
we die, the exhibition exploring the idea of beauty as a by-product of happenstance.
Though we long for the heroic, for our friends and followers to “like” (or heart) our significant contributions to internet society, though we yearn for some sort of affirmation that we really matter within the larger context, it is everyday tedium that dominates our time. Our days are filled with to-do lists, dirty clothes, longings that will never be fulfilled, and bad breath. The artists of Ignoble in Between embrace the mundane passage of time, reveling in transient thoughts and physical decay, with happenstantially beautiful results.

Ignoble in Between will feature the work of nine artists and is one of six simultaneous exhibits in the unique setting of abandoned auto shop garage bays. The Auto Shop shows are part of a larger joint venture, called the Rumsey Street Project, between the volunteer art organization known as SiTE:LAB and Habitat for Humanity which finds under-utilized buildings and transforms them into art projects.
