I am pleased to announce that my piece Displaced will be one of a variety of art quilts, fabric collages and embroideries in a national juried art quilt exhibition at the Southern Utah Museum of Art. The show, Pathfinders: New Territories will by on display June 30 – August 26, 2017
I have been touched by the heartfelt reaction to Displaced, which was first shared in photos and exhibits last year. Even though my piece is inspired by current world events, it could very well represent the universal and timeless plight of refugees throughout history. When I saw the show’s title, Pathfinders: New Territories listed in a call for entry, I knew I had to enter Displaced. The theme description on their prospectus defined pathfinders as any person, group, or idea that is visionary in nature and blazes new ground.
I hope that some of you will have the opportunity to see the show and view the piece in person this summer. To get a behind the scenes glimpse about making Displaced, please see this previous post.
18 x 24 Posters of Displaced are available from my Etsy Shop here.
This is such an AMAZING piece! Congratulations, Salley.
Congratulations, Salley! This is an incredibly beautiful work!
Congratulations, Sally, in going to the Utah exhibit. More so for creating such as timely piece that is also timeless. Beautifully done!
This will be a wonderful addition to the show, congratulations!
Since I first saw this piece it has tugged at my heart. We can only hope that persons in this situation find homes and peace. Thank you for publicizing their plight.
Many congrats to having your art being viewed by so many. Love this piece, so poignant. Please send to Seattle WA so I can view it. 🙂
Thanks Barbara. I would love to show it all over, including Seattle, but it depends where the piece is invited to go or which exhibits it’s
accepted into.
It’s a stunning piece. So glad it’s traveling to a new part of the country for more to see.
I can sense that this work of art is filled with compassion. There are so many people displaced in all kinds of ways in this world and you have honored them beautifully Salley. Bravo!!
I love this piece. Thanks for reminding us about the poster. I just bought one. I’m also glad you are showing before selling. Dhyan
Thanks so much Dyhan. Your poster will go out tomorrow. I plan to hold onto the original for a while, so it can be seen by as many people as possible.
Awesome, congratulations Sally!
