CHROMATIC CONSTRUCTIONS: Contemporary Fiber Art by Dora Hsiung.
Opening Reception: 9.11.2009 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Exhibition Date: 9.12.2009 – 1.10.2010
Workshop: 9.12.2009 at 2 pm (click here for information and pictures)
The art of Dora Hsiung at initial impact is straightforward and unabashedly decorative, yet upon analysis it proves to contain subtleties to engage the eye and the mind. Her fabric sculptures look – and are – mathematically organized. Like a well-constructed fugue, a Hsiung work alters its tone and its counterpoint subtly as it moves from side to side, from top to bottom. Now and then there is a dissonant thread, which serves to accent the harmony of the whole.
