About the Item
Pima cotton broadcloth with reactive dyes, silk batting, cotton backing.
Raised in the American South, Rodger Blum received a BFA at North Carolina University of the Arts and an MFA in Choreography at UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts, CA. Active in performance, choreography, and design from a young age, Blum’s passion for movement, color, and composition inform his textile work. That work ranges from improvisational piecing to painted textiles, heavily worked with reactive dyes, and installations merging hand-printed silks and dance video. The boundaries between disciplines of art-making continue to blur: ideas of composition - whether on the human body, in a two-dimensional artwork, or an installation that combines many ways of making, have coalesced to form a unified vision of choreography: a complex sequencing of ideas and gestures in color, time, and space. Blum’s current wall constructions consider layering and gesture as a lens for accumulating ideas seen, heard, and felt. They exist not to create answers but to develop connections through a sussing out of ideas and emotions. The emphasis on painterly movement (as opposed to traditional fabric piecing) offers a landing for curiosity, discovery, and, sometimes, discomfort. Rodger’s work was recently juried into the 23rd Quilt National Biennial and will also be featured in the Fall 2023 edition of Fiber Arts Now. Upcoming, his work will be shown at the Canton Museum of Art and as part of Color Improvisations 3 at the Museum Tuch + Technik Textilmuseum in Neumünster, Germany.
