Cindy Triplett—The Four Elements

Cindy Triplett is delighted to present her groupings of art objects created for this exhibition at the Fiber Arts Collective. “The Four Elements” is a mixed media exhibition focusing on her interpretations and personifications of fire, earth, air and water. Some time ago, she was inspired with the idea that mixed media representations of the abstract concepts of these elements could present a compelling art show.

Cindy has created watercolor paintings that exemplify the rich qualities of color, light and texture, obtainable with the medium. She painted design-oriented compositions, using expressive brushwork, poured washes, and textural applications for this showing. Latch hook rug weavings were designed and woven to express the abstract qualities of these four elements by using a rya knot to produce deep pile. Ceramic faces were sculpted from clay, expressing elemental characteristics, to accompany the weavings and paintings.

Dye Studio Sale Saturday, November 16th, 1-3 pm..

As our lives change, so do our passions. Jo Ann Manzone has made a decision to step back from her creative side to pursue other interests.  So, she will be having a sale on all of her dyes and equipment.  If you are a beginner or a seasoned dyer, you will find lots of cool stuff at great prices.
