Hayden White

Hayden White shares the following about his upcoming Finch Lane exhibition, “Pushing and pulling the boundaries of interaction and emotion, these happenings have commitment in the intimate act portrayed. Difficult to wrap the intention to anything other than becoming lost. To become part of these moments could lead to disassociation. Full of cartoon expression, no matter the state of their face, they all share the void of their structure. Have fun.”

Sheryl Gillilan & Roxanne Bartel

Sheryl Gillilan is an award-winning quilt artist who sees inspiration for quilt ideas everywhere – tile floors, rugs, graphic and modern art, landscapes, and architecture. She uses cotton and silk fabrics, both commercial and hand-dyed, to provide a variety of colors, textures, and patterns in her quilts.

Roxanne Bartel has been a quilt artist for over 25 years. She studied painting in college, and while experimenting with painting on fabric, she made the transition to quilting as an art form. She creates her own palette of altered fabric through dyeing, bleaching, painting, and resists, and frequently uses silk kimono as a base for overdyeing because of its superior quality and woven designs.

Alise Anderson

Alise Anderson’s exhibition will explore the idea of funeral gifts. The funeral gift is an invitation to community members to ask themselves “What kind of gift would I give away at my own funeral?” Inspired by her Grandma Trudy, who made hundreds of needlepoints to be given away at her funeral, Anderson takes on the role of facilitator to help people make their own funeral gift. Spanning many mediums, ages, and interpretations; Funeral Gift invites you to think about your own personal legacy and what you might leave behind after you say goodbye before you have to say goodbye.
