TO DO: A Mending Project

TO DO: A Mending Project

Siobhan Arnold, Michelle Montjoy, Anna O’Cain

nov 15 – dec 15, 2022

To Do is a social practice created by artists Siobhán Arnold, Michelle Montjoy and Anna O’Cain that taps into the restorative power of repair. Slightly quirky and homespun, this project is grounded in art history, the legacy of domestic craft and the power of communal actions like barn raising and quilting bees. We offer mending hours and workshops. Materials will be available, and guidance will be offered. Everyone is invited to participate: Bring a garment in need of repair to the gallery and we will assist you in the mending process.

Ving Simpson

Oct 10 – Nov 3, 2023

Ving Simpson’s intent in creating art is to unfold the inherent nature of something an idea, a rule, a notion, a person, or a thing-and uncover an artistic understanding of the essence of its existence. He uses his artistic process to edify himself, using what he considers an alternate channel of perception to circumvent the folded (Cartesian, analytic, logical, linguistic) approach to knowledge. Though difficult to describe the process in words, Ving has discovered that a number of topics have yielded to this process. The idea of numbers deepens. The quality of warriors clarifies. The enigma of space and time unravels and the universe drops some of its inscrutability.

Ving uses this artistic frame of mind, where form and color, material and method, join with unfolded intent to infiltrate the big questions of life in this big universe of ours. The artwork is what is left over.
