SUMMARY:Artist Reception for Patsy Dew
DESCRIPTION:Days of Wine & Roses\, Beer & Blooms\nphotography by Patsy Dew\nApril 7-June 30\, 2017\nPlease join us for an artist reception on Thursday\, June 1 from 5:30-7 pm at F-Town Brewing\n22 4th Street NE\nFaribault\, MN 55021 \nArtist Statement\nPatsy Dew \nI play with my camera\, as if tasting visual candy.  Flowers intrigue me because of their beauty\, color and changing nature with time.  I find great beauty in wilting blooms.  I am a voyeur\, trying to catch significant moments without the subject’s awareness of The Photographer. \nThe camera is a marvelous tool for capturing moments\, for freezing time. I look for those images that show the symbolism of the moment: the fleeting nature of life in a small town\, or the eternal qualities of peaceful moments in a noisy metropolis.

DESCRIPTION:Karen Peter Artist Statement: \nProcess is deeply rooted in my practice. Process builds form; it provides a beginning and an end. My current sculpture pairs cast iron with wool elements to complete an idea. The work starts with a knit pattern; that is traditionally viewed as soft\, comforting and flexible. Then the pattern is cast in iron and becomes rigid\, inflexible and heavy. Once the cast piece has been cleaned and finished the wool component of the sculpture is created\, using knit or wet felting techniques. This creates sculptures with sharp contrast in color and texture. \nSharp contrast that is intended to challenge the roles implied by process\, materials and history. In this recent body of work\, the soft object will support the rigid sculpture – challenging the ideas of strong and supportive. \nThe prints I’m currently creating use a reduction process. The linoleum block is carved away to expose the color printed previously\, building the layers of the print. Once this is done you can’t go back – you can only move forward and work with the colors you have chosen. The content of the prints are color and shape\, used to form thoughts and ideas that are abstract in daily life. In the prints I meticulously place lines\, circles and other shapes to organize these observations. The colors and size of the prints define these feelings or expressions. I enjoy this process as it always pushes me forward. \n \nJustin Peters Artist Statement: \nCurrently working with cast iron\, concrete\, and fabricated steel to form and shape sculptures that are representative of boats\, air planes and wind turbines. Vessels that have a perceived motion or movement.  Images that have long lines pulled from agricultural and industrial machinery. The true integrity of the materials used is important to show the process and fabrication methods used. \n \nMary Ellen Frame Artist Statement: \nI take great joy in all the combinations of colors\, shapes and lines of the elements in whatever environment I find myself; I find novelty in their arrangements\, how they are sometimes surprisingly juxtaposed. \nThere are so many different ways that plants express concentric circles and spirals. It’s amazing what water does to sand\, how frst and snow transform man-made objects as well as trees and weeds\, how changing seasons give us shifting shapes and colors. Water\, having no shape or color of its own\, takes shape from vessels and wind action\, from evaporation and freezing. It transmits and reflects color. Regularity is displayed in the spacing of plants of the same species\, or leaf arrangements on individual plants and the clustering of fruit and seeds. Sometimes lines become more appealing when they deviate from parallel. There’s often a sweetness to fringes and frills and feathery texture. Leaves have such myriad veining\, shapes\, textures and edges that are scalloped\, jagged\, or smooth. We move through a visual feast. \nMary Ellen Frame \n\n\n2016-17 Gallery Season Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: A Bevy of Marks: Karen Peters\, Justin Peters\, and Mary Ellen Frame
DESCRIPTION:A Bevy of Marks\nFeaturing Mary Ellen Frame\, Justin Peters & Karen Peters\nFebruary 10 – March 11\, 2017\nKaren Peters \nJustin Peters \nMary Ellen Frame \n  \n  \n\nJoin us for an Opening Reception on Friday\, February 10 from 7-9 pm; Artist Talks at 7:30 pm\nKaren Peters\nBio:\nKaren Peters is a sculptor and printmaker working out of her home studio on the North side of Minneapolis with her family and dog\, Woody. She is a member of Ironhead sculptural services that brings foundry arts to the public. Most recently she participated in a group show at Rosalux Gallery and sold a body of work to the Southeastern Community College in Faribault\, MN. She received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design\, receiving the Dolly Fitterman merit award her senior year.\nArtist Statement:\nColor and shape come together to form thoughts and ideas that are abstract in daily life. In the prints I place lines\, circles and other shapes to organize these observations. Using color and size to create the tone and feeling of the print. I’m currently creating prints that use a reduction relief process. The linoleum block is carved away to expose the color printed previously\, building the layers of the print. Once this is done you can’t go back — you can only move forward and work with the colors you have chosen. \nJustin Peters\nBio:\nJustin Peters is a sculptor working in Minneapolis. Creating freestanding cast iron and steel sculpture. He is a member of Ironhead sculptural services that brings foundry arts to the public\, specializing in furnace operation. Freelance fabricator and welder at Atomic Props and Effects. Received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.\nArtist Statement:\nUsing images that have long lines pulled from agricultural and industrial machinery\, wind turbines have a perceived amount of energy and movement. Blending the old wind mill base with the new shape of the wind turbine to think about\, how capturing the wind has changed from a single farmer to a wind farm. Leaving some of the marks created during the process and fabrication used to create the sculpture\, reminds the viewer of the hand built aspects of the piece. The surface is left for a similar reason\, to show the natural oxidation of the materials used. \nMary Ellen Frame \nArtist Statement:\nI take great joy in all the combinations of colors\, shapes and lines of the elements in whatever environment I find myself; I find novelty in their arrangements\, how they are sometimes surprisingly juxtaposed. \nThere are so many different ways that plants express concentric circles and spirals. It’s amazing what water does to sand\, how first and snow transform man-made objects as well as trees and weeds\, how changing seasons give us shifting shapes and colors.

SUMMARY:Free Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Free Lunch & Learn Opportunity: \nEat\, relax\, and be transported by the power of storytelling! Jean Wakely leads guests through The Jewell Wolk Story Quilt Project\, a collection of 11 story quilts created over a period of 20 years by Jewell Wolk (1924-2011) of Cut Bank\, Montana. The quilts depict a wide scope of topics from Jewell’s childhood memories\, her children’s lives\, women’s history and biblical storytelling. Jewell left her quilts to her eldest daughter\, Jean\, who manages the project in Jewell’s honor. At each hour-long Lunch and Learn\, Jean will share Jewell’s artistic process and cover the stories included in one of her mother’s quilts\, including time for questions from attendees. Guests should bring a bag lunch. Space is limited; please reserve your seat by emailing heather@northfieldartsguild.org or call 507-645-8877 \nJanuary 18 11:30-12:30 The Time & Life of Ruth quilt\nJanuary 25 11:30-12:30 Women of the Plains quilt\nFebruary 4 11:30-12:30 The Purple Sandwich quilt \nJewell Wolk \nJewell was a student of life\, a teacher at heart\, and a curious person about life. She was also an extraordinary artist and creative storyteller. Born in 1924 to a German sodbuster farmer\, Henry Otto Peterson and schoolmarm\, Mary Blyth Peterson\, Jewell was their third child of five.  Jewell attended country school and Cut Bank High School.  After high school\, she was a telephone operator for the Cut Bank party line system.  Jewell married Robert Walter Wolk and they raised seven children in Cut Bank.  She found her quilting passion after her seven children left home. She was a strong believer in the art form of storytelling\, which she felt was becoming lost in the multi-media age. \nEach new quilt that Jewell made started with a question\, launching Jewell on a research adventure. It would take her one to three years to fully develop the theme of each quilt. \nAs Jewell entered her 80’s\, she was going blind\, and eventually had to pack away her fabric\, thread and needles and stop making her story quilts. The object of her quilts is not perfection in art nor in stitch\, but in the story it depicts. \nEach quilt tells a story\, taking about 45 minutes to cover. Her quilts have traveled extensively\, have been widely published and documented\, and have been used for many storytelling events. Her daughter Jean is creating a booklet for each quilt\, and presents a portion of the collection in this Storied Design exhibition. \nJean Wakely \nJean’s storytelling with her mother’s quilts has taken her across the county to many quilter and museum programs. Jean is currently creating booklets documenting each of her mother’s quilts and the stories they tell.  To book Jean as a speaker\, to find out more information about the quilts\, visit www.StoryQuiltProject.com

SUMMARY:Tim Schacker & The Jewell Wolk Quilt Project exhibit closes
DESCRIPTION:The Jewell Wolk Quilt Project (shown by Jean Wakley) and New work by Tim Schacker\n\nJanuary 5th – February 4th\, 2017\nJean Wakley will show The Jewell Wolk Quilt Project featuring up to 11 story quilts created by her mother. \nTim Schacker Artist Statement: \nI have always been interested in the design of a building as a statement about our culture and way of life. A stunning example of this is the entire city of Brazila\, Brazil where an entire city was designed to reflect the values and culture of a modern Brazil. The same can be said when local communities design and build a house of worship that reflects the religious values of the religion and the age and time in which it was built. \nThe photographs in this portfolio were taken in churches\, synagogues\, mosques\, and temples over the last 2 decades of my travels throughout the world. They share a common theme of reverence and faith to what I think ultimately is the same core value. When I was traveling with my family on the island of Santorini\, Greece our guide stood on the worn steps of the local church we were visiting and took the hand of my eldest son and placed it in the worn grooves of the banister leading up to the church entrance. He asked him to feel all of the stories\, all of the hope\, all of the grief\, and all of the joy of the people who had walked these steps before him into his church that had been built 500 years ago. He called it an almost perfect place. I didn’t think to ask why it was “almost” perfect but now believe that he wanted us to understand that how we interpret our faith and the way we live in that faith is through our own human eyes and imperfections. This body of work\, which continues to grow and evolve\, examines our houses of worship\, through a lens of when it was built and how it has served its faithful overtime. \n\n\n2016-17 Gallery Season Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Sacred Space Exhibit closes
DESCRIPTION:“Sacred Space”\nNew work by Michon Weeks and Patrick Judd\n\nSept 29 – Oct 29\, 2016\nThis exhibit features new work by Michon Weeks and Patrick Judd.  Meet the artists and learn more about their work at the Artist Reception / SEMAC Capstone Event on Friday\, September 30\, 2016 from 7-9 pm. \nMichon Weeks Artist Statement: \nI often combine imagery of everyday objects with text from ancient stories as a way to evoke meaning and make connections between ordinary life and the sacred. Many of these large-scale paintings depict common objects found in my garage (tools\, WD 40\, bicycles\, grill\, etc.) combined with text from Ezekiel’s vision of the wheel from the Old Testament. I flatten the garage objects and turn multiple sides toward the picture plane\, exaggerating rhythm and pattern. Am I inventing a modern myth where ordinary garage items have supernatural power? How does the text on the power tools\, such as “ripping saw”\, “24 tooth”\, “Master Mechanic”\, shape the text from Ezekiel’s vision? These are some of the questions I am playing with in the paintings. Drawing is central to the way I work. Transfiguration through abstraction has been my abiding interest. I experiment with various systems of abstraction\, such as drawing within a grid of lines or dots\, abstracting within negative spaces\, or developing found images from a paint surface. These systems add structure and the element of chance to my work. Also\, abstraction diffuses literalism. \nPatrick Judd Artist Statement: \nI have always enjoyed photography and have had a camera in my hand since I was 10 years.  I attended school for film-making\, but am self-taught in photography. I love the haunting look of infrared black and white photography\, and enjoy using it to present landscapes in a creative way. \n\n\n2016-17 Gallery Season Sponsor:

The artists are glad to answer questions and provide information about the art. Some studios have demonstrations. \nThe range of work is amazing; weaving to welding\, glass to gemstones\, clay to carving – and paper in between. Whether you are a long-time collector\, or are just looking for something unique\, the studio tour is a perfect way to shop for fine art\, and best of all the tour is free! \nFor more information\, please visit the Studio ARTour website\, and check out the FAQs.
