Another Solo

It has been a very productive year.  So much so, that I have found little time to write about it.

JANUARY marked my solo show at the University of South Carolina, Beaufort. “Stitching Ghosts” opened after a year of planning. I installed thirty pieces of stitched and woven two and three-dimensional artwork.  The exhibit represents the nine years I’ve lived in South Carolina, processing my life in cloth and thread.

The show photos (courtesy @pamconnollyphoto) are posted on www.roxannelasky.com.  Please take a look at the revamped site as a lot has changed.

UPCOMING: Another opening.  We are rolling out the process shots for my next show.  This is a virtual exhibit that will appear on IG and other “socials,” a long term creative collaboration that promises to tease your sense of scale and nostalgia.

Conceived by Pam Connolly during the pandemic, the Laudau Gallery is an architect-built replica of a storefront gallery from her past.  It is built in 1:12 scale miniature where artwork is shrunk to create the illusion of reality in dollhouse form. Photography is common thread.

“unEARTHed” is an exhibit of my foray into taking the soils and plants I collect and interpreting them through the process of chromotography.   Simply put, it is a technique used by farmers and scientists to detect the quality of soil.  Photographic chemicals are used to elicit delightful circular patterns on filter paper.

We are excited to be bringing this exhibit to Instagram in all its stages. Please like, comment, and share with followers and friends.

(Where’s the textile? I have taken inspiration from the results to create small tapestries with cloth and thread. )
