Details

This series of exhibitions is about starting a conversation – between two artists, and with the viewer. We invited an artist partner to ask another artist that inspires them to exhibit their work together. In Conversation captures the exchange between two practicing artists that illuminates the parallels they recognize in their work and beyond. As artists working with paper and fiber, respectively, Leigh Suggs and Asa Jackson share a kinship in process and labor, as well as endurance and commitment. Their deliberate use of the line and distortion of the grid creates tactile works that feel grounded and familiar.
Leigh and Asa created work for this show that focuses on the cycle of loss and birth. While each artist is on the opposite side of this cycle in their personal lives, they find common ground in discussing and exploring spirituality and all the ways one finds balance in this life. Akin to their interlaced approach to material and composition, all stories are connected; new ones woven from the threads of old. An opening reception with the artists will be held on Friday, September 16 from 6 to 8 PM.
