SUMMARY:Prima Materia
DESCRIPTION:Opens November 7, 2024 through January 4, 2025 with a rece
 ption and gallery talk, November 14 5:00-7:00 PM (talk begins at 5:30
 ), 301 High St W, Glassboro, NJ 08028.\n \nAll three artists are expe
 rienced makers actively creating provocative artworks that relate to m
 aterials and techniques associated with crafts such as embroidery, bea
 dwork, decorative paper folding and cutting, and elements from the sce
 nic arts. Their efforts consistently yield marvelous results, includin
 g novel sculptural objects, sumptuously detailed and evocative two-dim
 ensional works, and challenging mixed-media installations that appeal 
 to the senses through their impressive individual and collective visua
 lity. Whether anchored on the wall or displayed in the round, the work
 s selected for Prima Materia generate visual and spatial synergies i
 mbued with a powerful combination of subtle yet vibrant energies and s
 ymbolic archetypes. Not unlike living entities, these works exert thei
 r agency upon us, in a sense “arresting” our sensorial attention t
 hrough their ability to convey something tangible and concrete about t
 he ephemeral and transcendental nature of the creative impulse.\n \nE
 ngaging with the alchemy of creativity through expertly crafted artwor
 ks, Prima Materia is essentially visionary in scope. Subsumed within
  the effervescent flow of macro and micro historical trends that have 
 shifted the definition and reproduction of fine art worlds into suppor
 ting the creation and display of art that can be technically described
  as “craft-oriented” and vice versa, Prima Materia contributes t
 o ongoing discourses around creative interdisciplinarity to push and e
 xpand the collective vision of contemporary art in 2024. Each of the t
 hree artists has striven to diversify what art is and what it can be m
 ade of, into unique forms bounded by expressive materiality.\n\nFor mo
