Ephemeral Expressions
August 14, 2008
[Art] New York-based artist Betty Vera’s works are described as “digital weavings.” She elevates an American craft to an organic art form, thanks to her studies of textile design and exploration of Jacquard weaving. Designing images on a computer allows her to develop structures far too complicated to create by hand. When she’s done — days or even weeks later — an electronic loom loaded with cotton and synthetic fibers takes care of the hard part, and “the image appears as if by magic,” she says. If Vera’s loom has ensnared you in its warp and weft (the crossing threads that comprise fabrics), be sure to mark your calendar for an artist reception and lecture at 6 p.m. Sept. 26. “Poizen” Ivy Hover, ihover@lvcitylife.com
