Susie Monday’s List of 100

February 20, 2015 By Sabugosh Leave a Comment

Susie Monday challenged herself to come up with 100 ways that one could “make a mark” on fabric. As she states,

This list is by no means complete – and we certainly didn’t make it through all the techniques in the one 8-session course of study, but I also figure that most of the methods can be used with three different media  — acrylic textile paints, dye and discharge chemicals, so many of the techniques listed are three-in-one. I made the list to serve me (and those artists who take my courses) as a reminder – a tickler – a spur to experiment and stretch. We all get dependent on a few tricks and forget that a whole bag is waiting to be investigated.

Visit her website to view her list at:

100 Ways to Make Your Mark on Fabric

Doerte Weber – Checkpoint Carlos

February 3, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

This installation was temporary set up in the Rio Grande Valley along the border fence. This fence runs in fits and starts for many miles along the border with Mexico. The piece consist of 11 panels standing vertically to the border fence. They form 10 passageways, 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Each panel is covered by handwoven material. The warp is of colorful cotton thread. The weft consists of densely beaten plastic bags, recycled from the plastic wrappers of various newspapers. The bags come in many colors, from very soft neutral to strong orange and turquoise colors with some writing on them. The pattern woven into the pieces will be old traditional twill patterns, providing a nice texture to flat surfaces.

Plastic bags from newspapers symbolize what newspapers give us: a connection to global events as much as to local happenings in our community. These bags are given to me by a vast variety of people of whom I only know a few. Even though the people who will see the installation will never meet the people who provided the materials, they are creating a community. One part would not be possible without the other.

Doerte uses old traditional patterns which give an assurance of familiarity and a connection to our history. All who see this installation will respond in their own way. Her hope is that people will connect emotionally to the pieces and believe in our continued humanity which shows that we have more in common than what separates us.

Artist Talk – Susie Monday

January 20, 2015 By Sabugosh Leave a Comment

Upon The Road: Recent Work

University Presbyterian Church
SoL Center
January 17 to February 28, 2015

Artist Talk, Sunday, February 8, 12:30
following 11:00 am Worship Service at University Presbyterian Church (visitors of all faiths welcome!)

Many of the textile works in this exhibit were the creative result of a journey in 2012 along part of the Camino de Santiago in Spain and in 2014, walking a section of the Via Francigena, the sacred pilgrim path from France to Rome.

These spiritual  — and physically challenging —pilgrimages and the art making that came as its summary and memory gave me the recognition (through both the walk and the work) that living well means step-by-step contemplation, a willing to embrace change and challenge, and that we are beings of both “above and below.”

300 Bushnell Ave. at Shook
San Antonio, TX 78212

The SoL Center is open daily 9 am to 4 pm. Ask for entry  in the church office, if the doors are locked to the center.

Congratulations to Doerte Weber in receiving the Juror’s Choice Award for her work entitled, The Yellow Brick Road.

Held at the Foundry Art Centre, The Art of Our Consumption Exhibition  “. . .invites artists to participate in this discussion using re-purposed, recycled, salvaged, found, or sustainable materials in their creations. L142Whether through media, process, or theme, artwork should speak to our relationship with and impact on our environment – what and how we consume, conserve, destroy, create, etc. As a vibrant home to the arts, the Foundry Art Centre raises awareness and appreciation of the arts throughout the region.”

Juror – Roscoe Wilson’s Statement:

Materiality is crucial for the understanding of work related to the theme of consumption. This exhibition mirrors the manner in which we devour the world and ingest the objects and materials within our throw-away culture.

L143The Yellow Brick Road 2014, cotton yarns and yellow plastic wrappers from various newspapers
size: 5 ft x 16.3 yds x 1 in

The Art of Our Consumption Exhibition closes February 13, 2015.
