Gallery Reception: October 7 (5:30-7:30pm)
Show Run: 10/06/22 to 11/27/22
Artists: Cathy Fussell and Deborah Forman
Cathy Fussell has been a practicing fiber artist for more than 50 years. She has been sewing and working with textiles since her early childhood in Buena Vista, Georgia, her hometown. Today, she maintains a studio in Columbus, Georgia, where she specializes in making art quilts and related works in fabric. Fussell’s art is held in a number of public collections.
As a native of Rhode Island (known as the “Ocean State”) the vastness of the sea has always been a prominent source of inspiration for Deborah Forman. Other influences include Euclidian geometry, architectural drawings, and traditional quilting. She is interested in the contrast of illusionistic space simultaneously existing with flatness. The imagery is open to multiple interpretations; forms can describe a sky, a diagram, a syncopated beat, a pathway or a horizon.
