They say that everything is old is new again and that there are no new ideas, just new ways of interpretation. This exhibition explores the idea of re-invention, re-interpreting old ideas into new ones and re-making materials into works of art. Artists selected have either paid homage to iconic artworks and re-interpreted them in a modern way of have taken traditional artisan skills and re-invented them into works that will challenge how you see arts and crafts. The lines between what is old and traditional are blurred by the modern and now.

06.07.10 > ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE EMMANUEL COLLEGE
For the first time, in summer 2010, Emmanuel College in Boston will be offering a summer Artist-in-Residence program for four artists. I will be working in the category of social justice.
The residency will provide four artists with individual studio space in the Art Department for a two month period during the months of June and July. The program will provide artists with access to Art Department studios and living quarters in the Emmanuel dorms. In return for their residency, each artist will be required to complete the following: during their residency, devote two hours of their time to a presentation on their work to members of the Emmanuel community; give an artist's talk some time during the 2010-11 academic year to the general public on the work completed at Emmanuel and its relationship to their larger body of work; and donate one work of art completed while at Emmanuel to the College.

four artists
three countries
new works by women of Generation Y
Jaclyn Brown creates a world of nostalgia, satire and dreams with her oils. Viewing this work is like entering into an X-Rated Mary Poppins film, where past, present and future social structures are questioned through the absurdness. (Canada, current Graduate student at The New York Academy of Art, 2008 resident of the KW Institute in Berlin, Germany.)
Stephanie A. Custance employs portraiture in her large-scale drawings which are expressively suggestive of societal relationships. Simultaneity is exposed through layering as details are obscured and secondary images reveal themselves. (USA, BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, 2008 resident of Takt Kunstprojektraum in Berlin, Germany.)
Ann Maria Healy provokes from her drawings and photographs, the impact of depression afflicting her homeland of Ireland. These separate mediums speak to each other in their commitment to form and concept, while alluding to the individuality of true life. (Ireland, current Undergraduate at Galway & Mayo Institute of Technology, 2008 resident of Takt Kunstprojektraum in Berlin, Germany.)
With Erin M. Riley a personal history is dissected in an attempt to find answers to the incessant questions we all face. Issues of birth order, substance abuse and trauma are explored with heart-wrenching tangibility through the employment of weaving and collage. (USA, current Graduate student at Tyler School of Art, 2008 Showcase in FiberARTS, to be featured in New American Painting, April 2009.)

The field of contemporary craft is burdened with many questions about its identity; what constitutes craft, where does one place it within the art spectrum and most often asked, what will craft be about in the future? Intrigued by these questions and exploring several others of their own, fourteen graduate students from the Craft Departments at Tyler School of Art decided to look within their own studios for answers. Like many graduate art programs, an unspoken type of segregation occurs between the students of each media causing a lack of dialogue of their artwork, this is a natural outcome of their chosen study of a specific material—metal, glass, clay, wood or fiber. In Limbo is the brain child of and is organized by participating graduate student Katie Miller. For Miller, In Limbo is an opportunity to take the artwork of her fellow students directly from their studios in an isolated academic situation and place their work on view together in an exhibit outside of the University’s walls. Naturally, one aspect of the answer to the question about the future of craft rests with this emerging academic talent. In Limbo provides a glimpse of the current mindset in academia—the use of traditional materials and methods to create untraditional work—as well as what we might expect from the future of craft.

Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art is pleased to announce Dirt Made My Lunch, a group exhibition guest curated by Todd Keyser. The exhibition highlights the work of Philadelphia’s first year Master of Fine Arts students featuring Erin M. Riley, Kurt Freyer, Michael Treffehn , and Robert Scobey, some of the city’s most promising young artists. The title references a creative process that is raw and malleable and still growing.
Erin M. Riley is a weaver and a mixed media artist. Riley’s work deals with her emotional issues involving family, personal history and relationships, but attempts to render these issues visually with a certain veil of universality. Using found images or personal images, she subsequently translate them into the tapestry language or into collages coated in resin or other plastics. She is interested in the soft, fluid and yet excruciating process of tapestry weaving juxtaposed to the fast nature of paper collages that are then sealed in a hard, permanent, water-proof material.
Kurt Freyer's video work explores art making at its most basic level, but the work itself is suggestive of something far more profound, in that a decorated egg and some candles on a mud hill can be used to identify the structural language of the art making process itself. Freyer's proposition is rooted in the questions of what art is. Freyer's video captures how something as seemingly elemental as mud and pigment can be used to communicate profound structural meaning.
Michael Treffehn’s work explores notions of cultural and biographical identity. He is also interested in suggested narratives and in presenting stories, but not in telling them. The video included in this exhibition is very still, causing the viewer to focus on the limited narrative and imagine the rest. What the viewer is seeing is only part of the story; the rest they must come up with on their own.
Robert Scobey's pop colleges display schizophrenic consumer images that expand into the real space. They shed their imageness and become their own environment. The work suggests that we are indeed in the next stage of simulacra in which images become a total reality beyond our own control.
Dirt Made My Lunch opens on Thursday, May 8, 2008 with an opening reception from 6-9 pm. The exhibition includes video, textile weaving, photography, sculpture and installation. The show closes on Saturday, June 21, 2008.

12.21.07 > WALL LOOM ADVENTURE
In an effort to combat the inevitable 48" wide width that all the looms at Tyler School of Art have, I decided I should go outside my comfort zone of the floor loom and build myself a make-shift wall loom. And what a better time than winter break to do so?
All the nails have been hammered, its been securely screwed to the wall and threaded with carpet warp at roughly a 6 epi. It is about 91 inches wide and 80 inches tall.
Since I am locked out of the studio for a week, I will be doing a lot of research on how to manage the sheds, adding string heddles or some sort of structure for harnesses.
In progress shots will be updated frequently on my Flickr account.
