These pieces are a variation on a series of animated installations called <em>The Tear Drinkers</em>. The title for <em>The Tear Drinkers</em> is taken from a relatively recent discovery by biologists that some tropical moth species drink the tears of sleeping birds. The series plays with how technology can be used to re-animate non-human creature caught in the still-death of photographs, transforming them into ghost-like, man-made approximations of the real thing.<br />

My mother built a house with discarded plastic sheets and scavenged wood in Oregon. My father went back-to-the-land in Northern Alberta where hardly anything grows. My mother spent almost a year in a teepee. My father hasn't lived in a house for longer than two years since he moved out of his own parent's home when he was 18.<br />
<br />
As a child, my family lived in countries that were not our own and I felt then that we were a small nation unto ourselves. For a long time, I didn't equate houses with homes and I couldn't tell you what town I was from.<br />
<br />
And now I am learning that home is something that can be invented. It can pop up almost anywhere. It can be carried on our backs if necessary. It can be constructed out of almost anything if it has a little light in it, as long as it keeps the night at bay, pressed against the windows.<br />

This month we are happy to welcome Andrew Salmon and Maggie Stein to the Shuckster space!</div>

Fascinated by the removal of mountains, the emergence of new fungi, and what happens when the wild has come to an end, I create to catalogue such events as well as imagine potential futures. I roam the myth of the landscape in mourning and jubilation. These sculptures archive my most recent wanderings.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First, let's discuss the different steps involved in making a quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. PIECING - Sewing small pieces of cloth together to make a quilt top. Sometimes there are blocks with a repeating pattern. Sometimes pieces are separated by long strips called sashing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. LAYERING - Stacking the quilt back (usually a solid piece of cotton cloth), the batting (fluffy center of a quilt, made of wool/cotton/bamboo), and the quilt top (perhaps with a border added) - this is sometimes called a quilt sandwich.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. QUILTING - Stitching through all three layers of the quilt. This serves three purposes (thanks, Wikipedia):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- to secure the layers to each other</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- to add to the beauty and design of the finished quilt, and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- to trap air within the quilted sections.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. FINISHING - A final border, called binding, encloses the unfinished edges along the perimeter of the quilt. After this, a quilt is usually washed, an slight shrinkage in the cloth creates the wrinkles often associated with a handmade quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise this will be useful in a moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b>hexagon chip quilt</b> was hand-pieced, then machine-quilted. Yes, this means that every single hexagon was hand-stitched to the hexagons surrounding it. The quilt is unfinished on purpose -so that you can look inside and see the stitches between hexagons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love hand-piecing a quilt because, until the final stages, the work is portable. For over a year, I would stitch hexagons during meetings, while watching television, and on public transportation. Once you learn the rhythm of the stitches, it takes very little attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <b>paint chip quilt</b> was machine-pieced, then hand-quilted. Assembling this quilt top was much more about playing with color than learning a new technique, and I believe it took less than a week to assemble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this time, a friend offered to teach me how to hand-quilt, and I thought the uneven stitches and chaotic lines of my first attempt would add some close-up visual interest to this piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are my first and third attempts at full-size quilts - the second lives in Kentucky with my nephew.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also on display at the Shuckster this month:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- a visual tutorial for hand-piecing hexagons;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- a small piece representing one late night's foray into color and pattern; and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- one section from my latest endeavor, a cathedral window pattern, which not only combines piecing and quilting into one step, but includes a significant amount of what I'd call origami.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rachel Singel</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I look up. The sun is rising, the colors of the clouds are changing with each passing moment. I look down at the ground. The fallen branches press tightly to the cement, like fossils. I think about them both: something moving and something frozen. They face each other, a fleeting moment and one waiting to be eternalized. I am interested in this relationship between what exists before me for an instant, and what might last.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I used to go out into the woods and look for voids in trees and in the riverbanks. I was drawn in by circles that seemed too perfect to exist, and would stare into them, wondering what might be inside. I think about Georgia O'Keeffe's work, and how she once said: "When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else." I also remember the words of Paul Klee: "An artist does not reproduce what he sees, he makes us see." I want to focus in on a single object or moment and spend time adding detail to that drawing, all the while remembering the encounter. In the end, all I want is to share that moment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I make etchings on handmade paper and bind their remnants into artist's books. I enjoy the relationship between these processes and how they intertwine. Andy Goldsworthy, another artist I look to, invests immense patience and time to realizing his vision. While there are setbacks along the way, he moves forward and finds a way to compromise with his materials and celebrate a subtle and ephemeral instant. This is also my hope.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Picher, Oklahoma, is one of America's most toxic towns. Miners built the town in 1918, and extracted more than $20 billion in lead and zinc - much of it used to create the bullets fired in the first and second World Wars. By 1967, Picher's mines had closed. However, mining left hollow tunnels beneath the town's surface and toxic residue piled high above. A 1993 study found that one in every three Picher children had enough lead in his or her blood to damage his brain or nerves. In 2006, engineers found that more than 80 percent of the town's buildings, including the high school, were in danger of collapse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> The country's once-vital mining site is now, essentially, a ghost town. The 2010 census counted 20 Picher residentsl reports from last year counted only six homes and a pharmacy in the town.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Using images sourced through Google Maps' "Street View" function, these doorways offer glimpses at a disintegrating community from the perspectives of those residents that stayed behind. They allow ground-level access without crossing the town's toxic threshold. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> To view: Pick a door, hold it towards a light, and look through the peephole.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Brendan Fitzgerald lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he works as news editor at C-VILLE Weekly. His reporting has been cited by multiple news sources, including The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and highlighted by the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. He also runs the FitzHerald-Tribune, and lives in the Shuckster house. This is his first exhibit. </span></div>

For me, encapsulating plant life in glass is about stimulating the mind and sense to a study of the visual essence in plant life - the delicacy of stems, leaves, and petals, the variety of shape and form, and the subtlety of color and texture. While more traditional terrariums consist of closed glass containers filled with moisture loving plants, modern terrariums embrace succulents in open glass containers as well. One is self-sustaining through water condensation and release, while the other allows for long periods of time between watering, which makes them both easy to care for. Both provide a stunning visual that offers the viewer insight into worlds of lush succulent landscapes, wet mossy woodlands and dry earthy deserts. I have included both in this collection. Please enjoy.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A native Virginian, who was raised in Pennsylvania, Joanna Mullen currently resides in Charlottesville, Virginia. She is a graduate of Sweet Briar College with a major in Studio Art and a minor in Art History. Though, she is likely best known for competing in both men's and women's figure skating at the 1940 and 1944 Winter Olympics. She placed 4th in both. It was then that she realized that sports were so pedestrian and she was part of a dying breed... like people who could name all fifty states. The truth hurt. Oh sure, maybe not as much as landing on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurt. So began her epic journey into the world of collage. Tonight she has prepared some work that will illuminate the mind and dazzle the eye.</span></div>

</style>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Craft(ing) objects are important to me. I work with handmade
paper, etchings, woodcut and recently welding. Attention to a work's creation
becomes part of the work. I believe objects must be carefully and lovingly
formed. I’m trying to create objects that are emblematic of my hope for a
future communal existence, one where we are attentive and self-aware.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The pragmatism of craft extends into my life in the form of
a gardening - I garden with others because people respond positively to
watching their own work grow and tending to something that is both sustaining
and alive. Both crafting and gardening reach towards a utopian existence. The
work I do in the garden is integral to the work I do in studio - both extend
into the future. I hope for a world where people know what they take and give.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The etching is of a beast that I envision as a harbinger of
utopian/future existence where gardening and concern for other folks and self
is so intuitive no one even talks about it anymore.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Warren Craghead</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">While watching the live feed from Egypt's Tahrir Square last spring, I was so taken by how brave and crazy the people were that I started drawing just to do something. Those drawings led to more images of Tunisia and Libya and the recent Occupy movement. One reason I draw things is to react to what is happening in the world around me—my kids being nuts, things I see while driving around, a car race, a trip. In this case, the events were exciting and complicated revolutionary movements that, I hope, will turn out well. Almost all these images I've only seen though a TV or computer screen. Drawing them is one way to make them more real and immediate. I'm not pretending to know all or even much of what is going on in these complex situations, but I think, maybe naively, that by drawing them I can make some tiny connection.<br /><br />My work explores the absurd idea of how to be everywhere. It insists that art can be accessible, cryptic, and beautiful all at the same time. My drawings, collages, paintings, book and mail art are inspired by my experiences in the ordinary world. They contain spontaneous "without thinking" narratives that process and encode everyday life and the written word into discrete, pictographic, nonlinear stories that can be encountered everywhere: a sticker on a pole, a booklet in a newspaper, a postcard in the mail, an image on a website, a collage in a gallery. <br /><br />Warren Craghead III lives in Charlottesville, VA, with his wife and two daughters. He likes to make pictures, and has exhibited his work internationally. He has also published many works, including the Xeric Grant winning Speedy and several collaborations with poets and writers, one of which was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 2006. He received an MFA in 1996 from the University of Texas at Austin, a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia in 1993, and attended the Skowhegan School in 1993.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This month, we welcome Maureen Lovett and James Ford to the Shuckster space! </span><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Maureen Lovett</b></span></div>
George Binsted spent most of his adolescence and early, twenty-something years assuming he'd spend his career in the skies as a pilot. At my age, he realized he would never make a second home in the air. He had to find a new vocation.<br />
<br />
George became a bricklayer by trade and turned the rest of his careful attention to crafting model airplanes. After his workday was over, he found his home among hundreds of opened and unopened kits, complicated instructions, airbrush paints and display shelves. Crouched over near a desk-lamp-turned companion, George has spent more than sixty years giving himself to the meticulous, repetitive care of his craft.<br />
<br />
Here is my grandfather's model airplane, an object full of care and yet some disappointment. Likewise, here is a ship that is full of adventure but will never go to sea. Here are the epic books I haven't finished. I'm allergic to this grass. These chandeliers are covered in dust. These banners aren't hemmed. Only one of these curtains made it onto my window.<br />
<br />
But I want all of these things - with all of their imperfections and nostalgia - to by my home. Bless this house - the real one, covered with glory and filled with defeat.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>James Ford</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
James Ford was born in 1982 and grew up in Charlottesville, VA. He has an undergraduate degree in Film and Video from the California Institute of the Arts. He has lived in Charlottesville for the past 5 years, where he now runs the last remaining independent movie theater in town. He often DJ's in bars, at house parties, between bands, and on the radio. He has been designing concert posters and flyers for local music events since 2006. He is also an amateur music journalist and, on rare occasions, a concert organizer. </div>

All of the images in this show were colleged together using x-acto blades, scotch tape, and color and b&w xerox machines; there were no computers involved in making this artwork.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
<i>wizards</i> is an installation of visual art by Victoria L. and sound collage by Dylan Mulshine. It features colorful fabric art in a pair of small exhibition spaces and sounds produced from a full-spectrum cave. Why do we do what we do? Because colors and noise have a power. Because growing up doesn't have to mean giving up. Because settling in doesn't have to mean settling down. Everything you need to learn about right living is found in Young Adult Fantasy novels. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
Victoria L. is an artist and independent curator. She is inspired by the Gee's Bend Quilters Collective, Fort Thunder, and Sister Corita. She has shown her art at Space 1026 in Philadelphia, Secret Project Robot in Brooklyn, Open Space in Baltimore, On Reading Gallery in Nagoya, Japan and elsewhere. She co-founded a pop-up gallery in central Virginia called Thanky, where she curated exhibits and performances for one year. She has also curated exhibits at Trance Pop Gallery in Kyoto and the Hexagon Space in Baltimore and she participated in the first-ever Osaka Zine Fair in Japan this year.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div>
Dylan Mulshine is an experimental musician who performs under the moniker Teen Dreams. He has shared the stage with Dustin Wong, DJ Dog Dick, Caribou, Gang Gang Dance, and many others. </div>

She frequently exercises an ongoing investigation of found materials re-purposed for new expressions. This has included discarded household detritus, appropriated newspaper images, purloined office supplies, and dead animals supplied by her cats.<br /><br />Deirdre worships at the temple of Robert Rauschenberg and his high priestess Sarah Sze. Like Kafka, Deirdre has a dull day job that pays the bills. 25% of profits from her sales go to the Fistule Foundation, an organization dedicated to restoring health and dignity to women injured in childbirth in underdeveloped countries. www.deirdredavie.com</span><br /><br />Kristin Smith<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I am based in Philadelphia and studied Printmaking at the College of William and Mary. This installation consists of watercolor and gouache paintings inspired by unfamiliar plants and animals as well as nineteenth-century infographs and botanical drawings.<br /><br />The pieces in this installation illustrate surreal environments and unusual vegetation, grounded in the natural world. I like that the little nook provides a frame that allows the four pieces to function as one and be viewed in a more personal space. www.thekristinsmith.blogspot.com</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">More photos to come!</span><br /></div>jessehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12993909049508104381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8970284690979460136.post-55084938998448563562011-07-28T12:52:00.000-07:002013-01-03T12:37:00.428-08:00Home Base Art Space<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Hello, and welcome to The Shuckster, an art space with domestic roots!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In the summer of 2011, it began as a response to a unique architectural space in our new abode and turned into an opportunity to present current creative work from artists.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">From installation work and performances, prints and sculptures, audio pieces and growing plants, these spaces provide opportunities for making.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">***</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Every first Friday, here at The Shuckster, we will present a duo showcase of work in w<span style="font-family:verdana;">hatever creative arenas the artists choose.
