Comment on Amy White at the Chapel Hill Public Library by chris vitiello

thanks, dave for documenting this show. i had the pleasure of touring it with amy, a delightfully overstimulating experience.
i’ve thought about it a lot afterward, and i think my favorite aspect of amy’s work is how she shows her process without being particularly attached to or precious about her materials. i mean, she uses so many different materials, and has reached a very high level of craft in many of them (her snake/intestine-like paintings, for instance) but she puts any preciousness out on the stoop by including chance elements like drips, or things that might be thought of as mistakes, or even other kinds of marks and attributions such as the plywood manufacturer’s product stamps.
for me, it adds up to the work being a means to the end of thinking, and then taking that thought away in order to apply it to other situations. that’s why this library show is so wonderful for any fan of amy’s — you get to see examples of several different categories of her work together, installed in such a way that, when you walk into another public space, you begin to work on it like amy’s art has trained you to do.
amy makes useful work.

Loved your show,Amy,
Wished I could have seen it in person. Is it possible to see the photo (s) in a larger format. I tried
to do it on my computer ,but either it or I were insufficient.I mean the photographs in particular.
REally exciting work.Keep on truckin’
Love,
Phil

Comment on Fiber optics by Ann Flaherty

Thank you for the nice words Dave. I enjoy experimenting with various fibers and techniques, especially with non-traditional items. The synthetic paper in these papers would normally be cast off in the trash. Its nice to reclaim them, to resurrect them in a new form.
Glad you like the work.
