Marking Boundaries

Braunstein/Quay Gallery, San Francisco

Jane Lackey, Linda Hutchins, Consuelo Jiminez, Emily Stewart, Scott Hove, Jean Cacicedo, Kay Khan
Deidre Scherer

Curator Myra Block Kaiser, one of the founders of the Website Fiberscene.com, curates her third exhibition with Braunstein/Quay Gallery. Marking Boundaries focuses on the role of fiber in contemporary society, bringing together a diverse group of artists who explore the physical, social, political and psychological boundaries that we all encounter.

Jane Lackey conceptualizes the ultimate map, our DNA.
Linda Hutchins takes us to the limits of social interaction in her hand-typed works.
Consuelo Jiminez Underwood's mixed media pieces depict the painful process of Mexican-American border crossings.

Emily Stewart hand dyes and pieces work that traces her steps from home to work to play.
Scott Hove creates large knots and installations from marine hemp rope.
Jean Cacicedo creates wall hangings that reinterpret the border-markers on patterns before stitching.
Kay Khan layers felt, applique, embroidery and stitches to document memory and personal narrative.
Deidre Scherer quietly reminds us of our own mortality.

Marking Boundaries explores the many borders that touch our lives, those that mark us as individuals, help to locate us on this planet, define our individual needs, and finally those that mark our last commonality, age.
