Sustainability in Chaos
The 2023 Juried Exhibition by the North American Hand Papermakers – featuring GAP member Hazel Sebastian Glass, and juried by GAP member Helen Hiebert and printmaker Eileen Wallace
20 October 2023 @ 8:00 am – 20 November 2023 @ 5:00 pm EDT
The 2023 North American Hand Papermakers’ Triennial Juried Exhibition, Sustainability in Chaos, invited 30 paper artists to demonstrate their insight on the chaos of today’s life. Through the medium of paper and its boundless style, sustainability, and conceptual framework, the exhibiting artists transform chaos into a vision of what is possible. Their work demonstrates how the arts and sustainability can elevate inspiration and leave a lasting impression on communities.
Anarchy, war, and disease have become our nation’s daily concerns and only news. Even if we do not face these situations directly, in our social and economic lives, we witness the prevalence of chaos in various forms. With such sudden, surprising, and sometimes unexpected changes in our lifestyles today, Sustainability in Chaos is a show of resistance. Through the historical endurance of paper and its various papermaking artforms, the 30 featured artists issue an invitation to a quiet and peaceful moment that evokes a pleasurable experience that conveys freedom from chaos.
Opening Reception: October 20, at Sprout Coworking, The Gallery, 166 Valley Street, Building 6M, Suite 103, Providence, Rhode Island 02909.
