Amy Sands Artist Talk: Trådar (Threads) September 7, 2024 2PM Hjemkomst Center |
Amy Sands provides an artist talk for her exhibit Trådar (Threads). In the Bunad series, she has captured the close-up images of Norwegian bunad handwork taken at the Osterøy Museum in Norway and translated the images into polymer photogravure black and white prints. The stains, rips, and loose threads on the preserved historic textiles become an active component of the work. In the Portal series, Sands has integrated historical photos from the Tekstilindustrimuseet of the Norwegian textiles industry and patterns from the textile collection at the Osterøy to produce a fish-eye perspective, embellishing the images with embroidery and beads. The talk is free and open to the public.
This activity is funded in part by grants from the Lake Region Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund and through general operating grants from the FM Area Foundation, and The Arts Partnership with support from the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo. |
