Opening Reception
2-6pm
Corkin Gallery is delighted to present "Woven Stories," an exhibition by Barbara Astman. Building on Astman's keen interest in translating and comprehending our consumption of images, the artist introduces a new body of work that blends various mediums. In the main gallery, visitors will encounter a series of tapestries that intricately weave together analog and digital techniques.
Astman's meticulous and time-consuming artistic process stands in stark contrast to the fast-paced world of digital imagery and information dissemination. The artist dedicated significant effort to physically extract and trace visual elements from newspapers, subsequently translating them into woven digital collages that form a captivating new composition. The end results are potent and enigmatic fragments of our reality—a reflection of our contemporary era.
