PRAYER RUGS AND SADDLEBAGS by Michael C. Simon in the Skylight Gallery

Possibly stemming from the year Michael Simon lived in Afghanistan in the 1960’s, he has developed a deep love for the tribal weavings of that country, especially the rugs and trappings of the Turkmen and the Balouch. Simon brings some of his collection to the Skylight Gallery at Art Works. Each piece has a story as to its creation and use. Michael will give a gallery talk at 8:30 p.m. on opening night, in the Skylight Gallery.

CORRESPONDING IN CLOTH by Jean Gonzalez – Corner Gallery

We first met Jean Gonzalez at one of the Demo Sundays at Art Works. She has a wealth of information on quilts that she shares with the public. People leave fabric on her doorstep and she transforms everything from t-shirts to sequins into mixed media wall hangings.
