ICA SF Curator Christine Koppes is in the house! I’m finishing-up a commission for Sunnyvale’s new City Hall development, and was thrilled to visit with @christinekoppes and have her eyes on my 9’ x 11’ tapestry. She brought along her adorable son Brooks who is a big fan of textiles, especially the neon yarns. 🧶 We talked about art and life and the art of juggling motherhood and a demanding career. I vividly remember those days— rich and rewarding and also stressful. Sending zen vibes to all the moms out there🥰 I’m thrilled that we have the @icasanfrancisco in the Bay, and looking forward to the current show Resting Our Eyes curated by @tfresh and @autumnbreon. I’m super excited about Christine’s upcoming summer programming—including exhibitions by LA artists @patrick_martinez_studio and @hayvkahraman and local painter @rupyctut . Good stuff!👍🙏🙌 Images: Christine, Brooks and the tapestry. Tapestry details.

Thank you FARM Projects Gallery in Wellfleet, MA for finding a new home for Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates II, a fav of mine from an ongoing series that explores ideas about land and our natural world. Art writer @Abraham Storer beautifully described the work in this series in his review of my show at the FARM: “In Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates (Eyes in Sky), the environment seems to be both underwater and celestial. Sea grasses snake through a busy field of spider webs and stains of color. A star-studded midnight blue sky hovers above — and even there, swirling vines find their way up to the stars and start to coalesce into biomorphic forms. In another piece, Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates II, the nighttime sky becomes a network of neurons and synapses. Natural elements exist as a cosmic and wondrous whole, part of her intent to make viewers ‘see the environment from the recesses of soil to the cosmos beyond us.’ “ Images: Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates (Eyes in the Sky), 2022.

I’m so happy to share that my piece Under The Wide Sky We Gather has found a new home following the closing of my recent show at The Fourth Wall Gallery. It’s gratifying to see an artwork find its way out into the world, and especially fun to the work in situ— looks like it made for this spot! @thefourthwallgallery #thankyouartcollectors #insitu #artonlocation #surreallandscape #landofmagic #natureinspires #natureinspiredart #constellations #fractalartist #biophilia #widesky #ecoartist #controlledchaos #luminescence #natureconnects #carrielederer https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUJkPxPXF3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This piece is titled Nature’s Mysterious Conglomerates IV and it’s part of a series where I’m exploring an ongoing interest in all that’s to be found in nature: pattern, shape, color, sound, climate. For me they’re like visual poems or notations about daily backyard observations. I began these pieces at the start of shelter-in-place and they continue to hold my attention. What’s your pandemic silver lining? I hope to include this work in my upcoming solo show @thefourthwallgallery in Oakland, scheduled to open in mid-March. Stay tuned for more info very soon! #natureinspiredart #dailymeditations #backyarddiscovery #patternsinnature #landofmagic #multiplehorizons #surreallandscape #oaklandartists #californiaartists #contemporaryart #gouachepaint #naturestudy #natureabstract #carrielederer https://www.instagram.com/p/Caipwa_Joi-/?utm_medium=tumblr
