More from her series on the brain, by Regina Marzlin

 The inner workings and structure of the human brain have been of interest to me since I was a teenager. Since then, I have had some experience with brain trauma in our immediate family and it has deepened my respect for this marvelous organ. 

This piece is part of a series I'm working on (which I started 5 years ago). I'm loosely depicting neuronal cells in the brain using my own screen prints on hand dyed fabrics, as well as using other surface design methods to introduce brain imagery. Machine stitches enhance the design. I'm now working on two more pieces based on these screen prints and will continue to add to this series.

Falling Into Layers at Blue Door Art Center

The Blue Door Art Center in Yonkers, NY is hosting their exhibition Falling into Layers: Contemporary Art Quilts from October 7-30.  The show will feature work by Art Cloth Network members Barbara Schulman and Mary Vaneecke.  

Two works from Mary's Samaras series are included.  An image of bladderwort plants and maple seeds scattered on water inspired the series.  Mary is interested in how humans deal with chaos, find beauty there, and relinquish control in the face of it.
