Ryan\, Sibel Adali\, Linda Tomkow\, Rae Gold\, Nancy Winegard\, Kerstin Katko\,\nRachel Montroy\, Susan Getchell \n“My first exposure to the medium of felt came through Joseph Beuys’ art\, and his many uses of felt (e.g. “Felt Suit\,” “Plight\,” and “Sled”)\, as well as Robert Morris’ industrial felt abstract sculptures. This early exposure\, more than twenty years ago\, helped me see wool\, and other soft materials\, as a medium for rigorous artistic exploration. \nThe submissions for this exhibition presented many wonderful uses of felt. The first time through the entries I looked at everything and then took a long break—returning the next day. At that point\, I selected the work that had stayed with me from the previous day. The next review was more difficult. I had to eliminate several really good works to fit the limited space within the gallery.  At this point in the process\, I asked myself: how does each piece relate to the term “contemporary” in the Center’s name? I considered how the medium and the composition work together to support the artist’s vision; how the objects contribute to the art community at large and to works in other media that are dealing with similar concepts.”\n— Wes Sherman \nClick Here to Read Wes Sherman’s Complete Juror Statement \nWes Sherman has been an artist for nearly 30 years.

It is my attempt to bring into relief the issues of gender bias\, political violence and discrimination against women. In creating a body of work that confronts the dehumanization of women I also confront a system that dehumanizes me as a man who is Black.” — Victor Davson \nClick Here to Read Victor Davson’s Complete Artist Statement \nVictor Davson has exhibited widely throughout the northeast United States and in Great Britain\, France\, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.
