I invite you to attend the opening of Edition: Fiber 2024 on June 22 from 6-8 PM.
Simone DeSousa, the owner of Materia and Edition, gave me my first opportunity to show my work, Threadlines Sketchbook, in her commercial gallery in September, 2010 when it was called Re:View, located on Willis in the Cass Corridor. Perhaps you remember that installation of 110 hand-stitched cards on the wall and even made a purchase to add to your collection!
The gallery has been so successful that she opened a second location in the Core City Neighborhood (Grand River and West Warren) and changed the name of both locations to Materia, embracing her Brazilian heritage.
This spring Simone invited me to submit my work for this fiber exhibition with 10 other fiber artists in Edition, next door to Materia which will be hosting a solo show of paintings on PVC by Ian Swanson, a Brooklyn based artist.
It promises to be an exciting evening. There will be a sewing performance by Thaddaeus Beals in the park across from the gallery. And PUMA, a new bar and restaurant has opened in the same stretch of storefronts on 16th street.
Join me. Experience the renewed energy in Detroit!
