Hope you were at Helikon Gallery yesterday morning. Five artist-participants in Contemporary Fiber Colorado Invitational 2014 aired their views about the future of fiber art and their own personal connections to the medium. For those unable to attend…..there will be a video! In a few days when footage has been edited there will be a link on the Helikon website, http://www.helikongallery.com, or Helikon blog and I will also post it here because it is not to be missed. The discussion covered a wide range of related issues and some really good audience questions. Though the topics were serious, there was a great deal of humor.
Participants were (L to R) Sara Rockinger, Jeff Richards, Jo Fitsell, Ray Tomasso and Regina Benson.
Moderator was Carol Ann Waugh, artist and owner of aBuzz Gallery.
And here are some more photos of work included in the show:
