Thanks to blogging buddy Boud of Field and Fen, I attended a fascinating art exhibit last week. Boud lives in New Jersey, but she sure keeps her finger on the pulse of all things artistic, so she let me know about this exhibit here in my city of Edmonton, Alberta! As it happens, Harcourt House Gallery is located right in my own neighbourhood, so I could just walk over and see it!
The Oracle of Stillness: Weaving Coherence in the Chaos by artist Noreen Crone-Findlay features many wonderful mixed-media figurines celebrating sacred geometry and the "timeless echoes of the Feminine Divine" (as stated in the brochure). So you know it was right up my alley! Each one incorporates elements such as weaving, knitting, crochet, fused glass, paintings, ceramics, wire, beadwork, macrame, found objects, etc. to bring them to vibrant life.
Here are four of my favourites showing Noreen Crone-Findlay's artistry --
The artist even created her own decorative looms on which to weave items for the Divine Feminine figures. This one is called the "Rigid Heddle Band Cat Shape Loom and Heddle" --
And this "Star Loom" features hare/rabbit symbology sacred to the Goddess --

Glad you had a great time, Debra. And groovy that someone from Jersey found this for you. One of the fun things about blogging, all the goodies shared from far and wide.
...we all need nourish our imaginations and souls!
Boud is an inspiration. What an exquisite exhibit. And so you.
What a fascinating weave and artistry!
Wow!
