This 2-person exhibit, by Mineral Point, Wisconsin artists Carole Spelic' and Richard Moninski, explores the art of textiles in two very distinct ways. This extended summer exhibit will be a “do not miss” for anyone with an interest in fiber and fabric art.
Carole Spelic is a paper mache' artist who creates forms using found materials such as office paper, junk mail and reclaimed books. Her unique process incorporating a custom-developed mash recipe and repeated sandings results in vessel forms with a high sheen surface. The colorful patterning on these unique forms reflect her kayaker’s obsession with navigable lakes and streams and her interest in obsolete writing systems.
Spelic, with Masters degrees in Drawing and Sculpture, has exhibited work throughout Wisconsin and the region.
Richard Moninski is an oil painter whose work has been highly influenced by textiles. In the 2-dimensional portion of this duo exhibit, Moninski will showcase his recent work, which was inspired by studying the folk textile heritage of the Scandinavian people.
Using photographs taken at folk museums in Norway, Moninski recreates in paint the fabrics, patterns, cross-stitch and beadwork of the objects that so intrigued him. Through these paintings, he has tried to give a sense of the cloth as a physical entity with light playing across the surface. He has also felt compelled to render the artifacts as they were shown – with holes, stains, abrasions and unraveled threads.
Moninski holds a Masters degree in painting and has exhibited work throughout the East Coast and the Midwest.
