Much to say

There is much to blog about, but very little time, it seems. As part of the continuing programming for Leap of Faith:

Much to say. This Sunday, 9am, Debra Elmore Naheim and her husband Stephen will speak at Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church about restoring the place of art in the church. Free and open to the public. Next will be the wonderful retrospective for James Michael Lawrence. More on that in a later post.

Today, I got notice that an article came out in Fiber Arts on Jon Coffelt, our April artist. The January/Feb issue of Fiber Arts has an article about Jon Coffelt’s. Memory Clothing. He will be showing the clothing here, at Susan Hensel Gallery April 18, 2009- May 10, 2009, in a one-person show entitled

COMMUNION

He and I titled the show Communion because of the thoughtful, almost sacramental nature of how he transforms the clothing and the memories as he works.

I do not yet know if he is visiting with his clothing. I hope so. He is a dear man. Years ago, before he moved to New York City, he had a gallery in Birmingham, Alabama called AGNES, named after his grandmother. He gave me my first one person show as a book artist. You can learn more about him at www.joncoffelt.com <http://www.joncoffelt.com> and see the FiberArts article at http://www.fiberarts.com/back_issues/Jan-Feb-2009/memory-clothing.asp <http://www.fiberarts.com/back_issues/Jan-Feb-2009/memory-clothing.asp> Stay tuned. I’ll post more closer to the show.
