About the Item

Jo Stealey is a full-time studio artist, Professor Emerita, former Chair of the Department of Art, and founding Director for the School of Visual Studies at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Stealey’s work over the years has spanned and combined numerous fibers media, including basketry, papermaking, and assemblage. The work presented in the September Exhibit represents an extremely informed exploration of materials and techniques, applied to conceptually-laden forms that represent and honor the domestic, the everyday, and the tools that bear out simple rituals by virtue of daily use. She says, “Celebration of the artifacts of life make the temporal long-lasting and memorable, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.”

In Dreams
By John Gardner
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
In Dreams is part of my newest series of mixed media works. I meticulously hand cut from vintage paper. The work is collage, watercolor and thread on heavy weight paper, with archival adhesive. It is matted with an archival matte and backing but will require a frame for display. Artwork dimensions: 6(h) x 6(w) Matte dimensions: 10(h) x 10(w)

About the Artist
John’s meticulous collages are crafted from vintage materials such as old textbooks, magazines, found paper, and even embroidery. The resulting images exist in another world characterized by a magical, cinematic quality. Each piece creates a unique story that teeters on the edges of surrealism and science fiction. The viewer is left contemplating the relationship between the shapes and figures in the scenes. John’s collages are further marked by their clean aesthetics and precise execution. He is based in New York, where he is the Director of Visual Arts & Exhibitions at View Arts in the Adirondack Mountains.
