To Weave the Sky Textile Abstractions Exhibit,
El Espacio 23, Miami, FL
To Weave the Sky: Textile Abstractions from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection celebrates numerous textile-based works from the Pérez collection – many of which have never been publicly exhibited before – and engages these acquisitions as focal points from which to structure creative dialogues with artworks presented in other mediums. Featuring works from over 100 intergenerational artists from around the world, To Weave the Sky is inspired by weaving’s traditional ties to abstraction and geometry, landscape and the organic, tactility and intimacy, and indigenous cosmologies and ritual. Curated by Tobias Ostrander in close dialogue with curators of the Pérez Collection, Patricia M. Hanna and Anelys Alvarez, the show attempts to uncover contemporary fascination with the medium – one that has been historically marginalized to the genre of craft within Western art contexts.Press

SUBVERTING MATERIALS

Nov. 11-Jan. 6, 2023-Exhibit
Since ancient times, the number nine has been associated with the nine months of pregnancy and thus represents the feminine principle of creation. On the other hand, according to Hindu
philosophy, the creators of the classical arts found nine emotions or artistic moods that are part
of the expressions of life. With these principles in mind, nine women artists were chosen for this
exhibition: Aimée García, Aimée Pérez, Allison Kotzig, Evelyn Politzer, Ivonne Ferrer, Karla
Kantorovich, Liberty Worth, Milena-Martínez Pedrosa, and Valerie Lustgarten. Each of them
uses techniques considered domestic or crafts—such as sewing, weaving, embroidery, or
quilting—transforming or subverting them into works of contemporary art that express different
messages and emotions. The exhibition, conceived as part of the project Threading the City,
organized by the Fiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA), highlights the work of these nine
artists who use fibers or textiles but also recognizes them individually for their originality,
manual dexterity, and conceptual strength.

Presentation by Paula Kovarik followed by a wine and cheese reception.
About Paula:
"Mom taught me pretty much everything she knew—knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cooking, camping, fishing, compassion, and responsibility. Then I went to school and learned some more. That's the thing, I can't help myself, I love to learn. It all interests me, rocket science, plant biology, history, art, you name it, I'm interested. So I became a designer, the career that forces you to keep learning. I ran a business called Shades of Gray for over 25 years specializing in corporate and employee communications. And I loved it ... most every minute of it. Now I am making art."
Paula Kovarik received her Bachelor of Arts in graphic design from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. As the creative director and owner of Shades of Gray, Inc., a graphic design studio, she specialized in communications. Paula’s textile art has been recognized by several national venues. She has been profiled in American Craft, Fiber ArtNow, and Art Quilting Studio magazines. Paula lives and works in Memphis, TN.
