McMullen Gallery, Articulation's Urban Textures

This is Articulation member Wendy Klotz's work in the Urban Textures exhibition in the University of Alberta Hospital McMullen Gallery.

'Winterized Winnipeg, Saint Boniface, Confederation Life, and The Kelly Building'

'The Gates' Puzzle'
This work really suffers from my photography because it is made from silk that shimmers and looks so alive with lots of optical movement.

'The Kelly Building'

This is another interpretation of this building that Wendy did. This one is appliqued & quilted while the other one is silk screened and hand stitched to give a very different effect.

More McMullen Gallery Work

These are the 3 works Leann Clifford put into Articulation's 'Urban Textures' exhibition currently hanging in the McMullen Gallery, University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton.

McMullen Gallery Workshops

Donna and I drove up to Edmonton yesterday for our 2nd workshop in the McMullen Gallery. We encouraged those who came into the gallery to sit down for a while to play with some design methods: doodling within a divided basic shape & notan (dark & light) - a Japanese based exercise where one uses the negative as well as the positive space in a design.

Donna is showing a simple but effective Notan design. Jane Dunnewold, a well known US textile surface designer, shared this exercise on her website, calling it 'The Expansion of the Square'.

This is ReBecca Paterson's 'Illusion of...' work in Articulation's Urban Textures body of work.

Vickie & I hung it in the gallery facing the busy walkway inside the hospital because it is such an eye-catcher to people on the move past the glass walls of the gallery.

After a 6:30 a.m. start to the day it turned out to be a long one because we had a tire blow out on the way back to Calgary so we didn't get home until 1:00 am!
