Hollie Heller
Tweed 2, Original Contemporary Silk Sculpture

2023

About the Item

Tweed 2 17 x 62 x 17 inches, 10 lbs Silk Hand signed by the artist Artist's Commentary: "Dyed stiffened silk, string From the Tweed Series Tweeds are an installation of related individual forms. The pieces are comprised of an original method I have created with stiffened silk. I produce multitudes of “silk straws” individually colored with dyes. With a beautiful spectrum of colored pieces, I string them into “tweed” like color combinations. I envision each individual colored straw as a brush stroke of paint and because of the array of colors, I can produce a color scheme that makes each piece unique. The works have an overall feeling of texture in the round and when installed as a group, relationships are created between the pieces. The installations are inspired by landscapes, particularly sky and expansive vistas. The installations are unique and the saturated colors enhance people to come closer to investigate." About the Artist: Hollie Heller is a multifaceted artist who divides her time between New York City and Costa Rica. Her masterful works are largely inspired by materials collected on her travels. Heller’s knowledge of design, textiles and weaving allow her to make the most of the materials she finds.

  • Bi-Fold IX
    By Mark Pomilio
    Located in Phoenix, AZ
    charcoal on paper mounted to silk foam core and wood Mark Pomilio’s work focuses on the research of fractals, cloning, and single cell manipulation. His mathematics-based drawings serve as a metaphor for naturally occurring systems of reproduction and growth. When Pomilio begins a piece, he doesn’t know where it will lead; although his tools and marks are precise, the layering, repetition, rotation, and distribution of basic shapes are improvised to emulate a single cell dividing and compounding into a complex form. The process of cell growth influences Pomilio’s practice and is emphasized through his own process, the use of erasure, faint outlines, opacity and translucency, and deliberate marks. The resulting compositions are balanced, unified, and harmonious. His work is included in the collections of the University of Arizona Museum of Art, Baylor University Martin Museum of Art, Dupont Corporation, University of Michigan...
