I organized a girls' day out with a friend to visit an art exhibit of the California Fibers group at Soka University in Aliso Viejo. How I even knew about this exhibit, let alone the University, is that another friend of mine has a piece in the exhibit. We had no idea what this exhibit might entail. Would we spend five minutes there after an hour's drive? Actually, we spent a good deal of time enjoying the 66 pieces from 22 artists before we took a leisurely stroll through the campus.
These first two photos are of my friend's work - a comprehensive photo and a close-up of Altarpiece. You can read about her work at her website here.
I was taken with many of the pieces which look one way from a distance and have amazing detail up close (like a pointillist painting).
A number of works seemed to draw heavily on biological themes.
Many works were large, and with all their detail, it must have taken hours and hours and months of work.
