Alana Iturralde, “Stitch” Beeler Gallery at Columbus College of Art & Design
Seen from a
distance, Stitch might be mistaken for an abstract painting exhibition, and in
a sense it is. However, the voice of the exhibition focuses on the enunciation
of the fibers of a thing instead of the paint. Works in the show utilize
sewing, weaving, knitting, hooking, embroidering, and simply exposing the
construction of a garment. Stitch features a diverse group of international
contemporary artists who share a love for creating haptic and often austere
works that force us to slow down and contemplate.
