Emily Fuller "Recent Paintings and Sewn Work"

Gallery Onetwentyeight

This event has ended.

The paintings record quiet interesting views of lush horizontal bands of fields, wooded areas, and tree rows. These repetitious horizontal blocks of color and textural vistas from hilltops and high ground point out Fuller’s interest in the abstract patterns of agricultural fields and trees in the landscape.

The 1980-81 paintings on canvas were sewn on a sewing machine, marked with glue, and painted in acrylic. They depict another form of landscape symbolizing field rows, trees, animal tracks, and garden rows.

The paper pieces, also abstract, are Fuller’s preferred way of working from 1977-1982. Heavy hot press paper is combined by sewing with the same weight cold press paper. The pieces are combined by sewing and then marked with sharp wood cutting tools, nails, and sculpture tools. There are recognizable house and barn roofs in some pieces. In other sections there are symbols of trees, garden rows, and animal tracks. The work could be called Fuller’s personal feminine interpretation of abstract landscape.
