Christine Ross Hopper : New York / Suzanne Swannie : Drawings

Swannie's series of six textile "drawings", which afford a focused formal analysis of the practice of weaving, are described as signalling a desire to have her work bridge the split between craft and art.

Ron Shuebrook : Recent Work

"This catalogue documents the more obvious aspects of my life and work. It isolates certain images and events from others.

This process of selection is very much related to the actual making of art. I work within chosen aesthetic limits. When limits fail to satisfy my needs, I reassess them." -- p. 3
