Evergreen Gallery

Gathering Together: The Art of Danielle Bodine, Adriene Cruz and Alonzo Davis

Opening reception with Artists in attendance: Friday February 3, 5-7pm

Exhibition continues through March 13

Danielle Bodine, Pacific Journey (detail), 2011, mixed media with Asian skewers

Adriene Cruz, Sun Song (detail), 2008, embellished painted fabric

Alonzo Davis, Precarious Container Series (detail), 2011, bamboo with collaged paintings and mixed media

These three artists combine varied materials and techniques to create lush, vibrant, potent artworks. Weaving, stitching, tying, painting, collaging, sculpting, and more, with natural and manufactured materials - from bamboo, shells, and leaves to printed papers and fabrics, mirrors, and talismanic objects - Bodine, Cruz and Davis communicate about their many experiences as mature artists who are devoted family and community members. The artworks speak through associations of the materials and processes themselves, the manner in which they’re combined (sometimes along traditional lines, sometimes nontraditionally), the artists’ diverse cultural heritages and personal histories. While some of their artworks are hung on the walls, none of them are strictly 2-dimensional, and some seem to spring into life.
