I've been neglectful and haven't taken photos of the Fiberworks 2008 exhibit this year. This is the only photo that I took and it was taken at Critique Night when the juror went around the gallery and talked about each piece she had chosen for the show. The juror, Erica, is at the far left standing next to the wall. Critique Night is one of my favorite events of the year. I don't always agree with the juror's statements but it's interesting to know her/his thoughts. No one ever gives harsh critiques and this juror was particularly nice (almost too nice) about it. I like to hear good constructive critism about my work because I'm always striving to improve. If someone has a suggestion or a comment I want to hear it. Like I said, I may not agree but I keep an open mind and try to digest the information.
I had two pieces accepted into Fiberworks 2008 this year and this one, Another Place In Time, won an Award of Merit for $250! The opening reception was June 6th on my birthday so that made a wonderful birthday present. Time Tracks is the other piece that is in the show.
Fiberworks 2008 had 132 pieces entered out of which 68 pieces were accepted so I was thrilled to have work in the show much less win an award. They presented $4000 in awards this year which is outstanding for this type of exhibit.
The show will be on display at the IAO Gallery until June 27th. You can see other photos of Fiberworks on their website. http://www.iaogallery.org/
