The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will exhibit Northwood Awakening, the 2015 Art Prize People Choice Award winner by Steve and Ann Loveless, Now through March 6, 2016.
Steve Loveless writes about the work, “I had the idea for Northwood Awakening after several shows that presented some of my photographs hanging with Ann’s quilts which were inspired from the photos. Because we are accustomed to perceiving photography as a medium of realism and we see a textile as a process of interpretation, I had the idea to create an actual photographic print that would morph into a quilt in a process we call photofiber™. The photo I chose was a spring woods in Benzie County with Trillium in full blossom because spring is a very inspiring season for us both and symbolic of rebirth.”
The 5 x 25 foot work will be shown in association with the current exhibition Extreme Fibers: Textile Icons and the New Edge on exhibit through March 6, 2016.
The Dennos Museum Center is open Monday to Saturday 10 AM to 5 PM, Thursday until 8 PM and Sunday 1-5 PM. Admission is $6.00 adults, $4.00 for children and free to museum members.
