SUMMARY:"In Search of Memory" Angela Rowe & Karen Paden Crouch
DESCRIPTION:Through their collaborative exhibit “In Search of Memory\,” Art in Bloom Gallery is honored to feature artists Angela Rowe & Karen Paden Crouch! Inspired by the enduring power of memories\, Angela and Karen combine their distinct talents to evoke the shared experiences which shape us. Write Angela & Karen: \n“Memories have the power to bind us. They tap into our shared experience evoking images and icons from the culture that has shaped us. Even inside a mind troubled by dementia\, old memories remain strong and help sustain us. This body of work is about making memories and keeping memories alive. We hope it evokes a place or a moment in time we can share to find healing ground in our fragmented world.” \nJoin us in Mayfaire on Sunday\, January 18th\, 2-5pm for our Artist Reception! Meet the artists\, enjoy special refreshments\, and listen to live music by Robert Beauchene. And celebrate Traudi Thornton’s (1940-2023) legacy through her Final Raku Sale! In alignment with her kiln restoration at Fat Cat Pottery\, we’ll release our final selection of Traudi’s ceramics from storage — 70+ masterpieces pit-fired with Traudi’s stunning glazes! \nAbout the Artists \nAlthough Angela Rowe grew up drawing and making objects\, she took other career paths\, working as an architectural historian\, in arts administration\, and managing high complexity global projects for IBM. Since 2013 Angela has focused on making art\, maintaining a studio practice at ACME Art Studios since 2014. \nAngela enjoys moving between the three freely based on which medium fits what she wants to say at a given time. Primarily a painter\, Angela also works representationally with ceramics and papier-mâché. Her collage / mixed media work is largely non-representational. Regardless of the medium\, all share her same intention of portraying things which are more than they superficially seem. Angela wants to suggest a story\, show a certain light\, a moment\, a mood\, a shared memory. She takes her own reference photos. These are images which said something to her. \nAfter more than twenty years of trial practice\, Karen Paden Crouch traded her law office for the welding shop and began learning direct metal sculpture. Despite a successful career advocating for clients\, nothing has ever been so frightening and exciting to Karen as sharing her own artwork. Whether it is good or bad\, understood or misunderstood\, trite or significant\, it has come from within her. \nKaren works in bronze\, copper and steel to create organic pieces for the house and garden. An avid gardener\, Karen grounds her work in the structure and movement of living things. Although Karen begins with a vision\, sometimes the very piece that sparked the idea will be the piece that gets cut out as the sculpture evolves. But Karen has always lived by instinct and\, with assembled pieces and bronzes alike\, the sculpture will tell her where to go if she is patient and listens.

SUMMARY:Living Waters: Artist Tour & Talk with R. Stein Wexler
DESCRIPTION:Join artist R. Stein Wexler for an artist talk on Living Waters\, an immersive installation that reflects on the unifying and essential role of water in human life. \nThe installation sits within an emergency shelter that includes 7 jerricans of water gathered along the Cape Fear River watershed\, a video installation of the surface of that body of water\, and an audio collage composed of recorded water rituals and the sounds of water. \nBegin with a guided tour at 1 PM led by the artist\, registration required. \nAfter\, Wexler will discuss her work and process in a moderated conversation at 2 PM with Gene Felice\, artist and Assistant Professor of Digital Art at UNCW.\nJoin us for the tour\, the artist talk\, or both. Links below to register. \nABOUT THE ARTIST:\nR Stein Wexler (she/her) is a public- and installation-artist trained as an urban planner. Her projects are research-based\, community-engaged\, and critical of dominant structures. She creates place-based work in collaboration with local communities to tell (hi)stories. Shaped by empathy\, deep listening\, and authentic connection\, her work results in gatherings\, process documentation\, immersive and interactive installations\, workshops\, exhibitions\, and policy change. Her work often offers numerous points of entry\, be it through sensory experiences\, information-sharing\, participation in the creation process\, or community- and connection-building. \nABOUT THE MODERATOR:\nGene A. Felice II\, Assistant Professor in Digital Art at UNCW\, bridges his creative practice across art\, science\, education and design\, developing a sustainable network of innovation\, living systems\, and emerging technologies. His hybrid practice grows at the intersection of nature and technology\, developing coactive systems as arts science research. Throughout his creative process\, emerging technologies such as 3D printing\, laser cutting & CNC milling hybridize with older methods such as wood fabrication\, lost wax bronze casting\, ceramics\, glass casting and more. While keeping site specific histories in mind\, he achieves confluence by merging these varied passions into a system of creative collaboration.
