Samantha Fields is one of the seven artists that Montserrat College of Art Galleries has invited to draw directly onto the seven walls of Montserrat Gallery over the course of seven weeks. Highlighting the ways the artists’ bodies and gestures activate the gallery space, this project celebrates the performative aspects of drawing and the individual nature of each artist’s process. SEVEN challenges traditional definitions of drawing, inviting artists of to mark-make in a variety of disciplines including performance, video and textile.
Samantha Fields’ commitment to repetition, dedication to fiber arts and interest in the relationships between people, objects and space, are woven together into sculptures of textile, embroidery, crochet, beading and sewing.
The gallery will act as an open studio over the course of each artist’s week-long residency, students and guests are welcome to come in.
Reception: Friday, January 30, 7-9p. On View in the Montserrat Gallery, January 26 – March 28, 2015.
