Fantastic Fibers 2010

Bigger & Better than ever.

It’s that time again! Fantastic Fibers 2010 is guaranteed to be the

best mixed fiber exhibit that Paducah has ever seen. We received

close to 600 entries from 137 fiber artists from Belgium, Canada,

England, Germany, Peru, South Africa, and from 38 states including Hawaii and the District of Columbia. The jurors chose 56 works from 45 fiber artists. This is a show that is not to be missed.

“Fantastic Fibers” is an annual international juried competitive

exhibition that seeks to showcase a wide range of outstanding works related to the fiber medium. This exhibit runs alongside the National Quilt Society’s Quilt Week in Paducah.

Enduring Transience

Recent works by Paducah School of Art instructors
Alison Hahn & John Hasegawa

November 14 - December 19

Enduring Transience, a two person exhibition, features digital

photographs by Alison Hahn and ceramic vessels by John Hasegawa.

Both Hahn and Hasegawa are instructors at the Paducah School of Art.

Artists' Reception: November 14, 5-7 p.m.

Alison Hahn's digital photographs are inspired by the Dutch Golden

Age paintings that explore the transient nature of life through

symbolism with hidden messages about mortality and the brevity

of life. Hahn's photographs in her Vanitas series are intended to

evoke similar emotions of drama, mystery, and awe found in

"Vanitas" still life paintings.

John Hasegawa's ceramic vessels reflect the arcane and spiritual

nature of the Mizusashi, Japanese ceremonial water jars. Like the

Mizusashi, the subtleness, the intentional imperfection, and the

gestures give each of his pots its own remark. The slashes and

marks that Hasegawa makes across the surfaces of his vessels

capture the energetic motion of transformation from a ball of

clay to a finished vessel.
