Textile Constructions Opens at Fine Art Center


Aurora - Goddess of Dawn
Terry Jarrard-Dimond
31"H x 84.5"W
Hand dyed fabric, stained fabrics, discharged fabric,
machine pieced, machine applique, machine stitched


Today is the first day of my exhibition at the Fine Arts Center in Greenville, SC.  The center is a highly acclaimed arts high school which works with talented students in Greenville County.  

The work is being shown in the Sheffield Woods Gallery and the show will be up through March 22, 2013.  During the first two weeks I will be on site during school hours working in the gallery in a studio I created complete with design wall, work tables and machine.  I'm really looking forward to that part of this residency and exposing students to some of the possibilities of fabric.

I will be posting something everyday about my activities so please check back in often.
