The Blanche Ames Gallery will be exhibiting the art of Mary Klotz October 11-25, 2015. Mary works in many media, rotating and hybridizing: a perennial scholar and teacher. She states she is “multi-mused”, which for her is a blessing and affliction. While she has taken many classes, most of her work comes from self-study and talent. A watercolorist, who also paints in acrylic, she has learned and produced many other art forms including; seed beading, pyrography, basketry, dye painted silk, triaxial weaving to mention a few. She teaches classes, writes articles for many publications and shows her work in numerous venues.
For this show, Mary offers triaxial weaving exploring color effects of ombre ribbon, her current fascination with algorithmic patterns in silk ribbon (some hand dyed), and tangles with emphasis on triaxial motifs. She attended the recent Bridges Math Art conference, where she was invited to submit a paper on her triaxial work for possible presentation at a future conference, and has been approached by Schiffer Publishing about writing a book on triaxial weaving and how it relates to elegant triaxial structure embedded and elegantly, effortlessly unfolding in nature. Mary calls it brain candy (though some say it makes their hair hurt)
The opening reception will be held, Sunday, October 11, 2015 from 12:30 to 2:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick. To visit the show on a day other than October 11th, please call 301-473-7680 to assure the building is open. The gallery hours vary
