Gallery Talk – Sunday, May 24 from 1:00 to 2:30pm with Cosmos artist Regina Benson
“Nature’s Metaphorical Marks.” Creating textile art in concert with Nature, Colorado artist Regina V. Benson has re-designed ancient mark-making techniques to work gently with the earth and canvas. Regina will illustrate the many ways she works directly on the landscape, dyeing and painting her own cloth and how she creates permanent designs; embossing with leaves, twigs and grasses and incorporating rusted metals and rocks to define marks. Regina will address some of the rewards and challenges in working on Nature’s surfaces in various climate situations, like wind, snow and rain. Each attendee will be given a small sample of Regina’s signature fabric. A touch-table will be available for attendees to handle actual works in progress and be given the opportunity to ask specific technique and inspiration questions.
