Shelton Artist’s Work to be "Unbound" at New Haven Gallery
Shelton, CT, October 2017—River Street Gallery in New Haven will be showcasing the work of more than 40 fiber artists from the tristate area in an exhibition titled Unbound, with an opening reception that is open to the public on Saturday November 4th from 5 to 8 PM.
Award-winning artist-curator Nancy Moore describes Unbound as "a celebration of what's possible when brilliant minds and creative hands combine to explore the limits of fiber in its many forms. I’m very excited about this exceptional show, which is geared not just toward collectors and art appreciators, but also those who are looking for one-of-a-kind gifts during the holiday season and beyond."

Among the artists whose work will be on display is Shelton resident Nancy Monson, a fiber and mixed-media artist and author. “The hallmark of my work as a mixed-media artist is color in all of its permeations and permutations,” she says. “I’m drawn to all different hues and shades, shadows and gradations, and I’m interested in the ways in which colors evoke moods and feelings.”
Also among the stunning works on display will be unconventional basketry, hooked rugs, bead- and paper-weavings, felted wool vessels, traditional quilts, and unique sculptural pieces. The artists represented are members of the Surface Design Association, an international organization dedicated to sustaining traditional techniques in the textile arts as well as encouraging radical new ways of exploring the use of fiber in art.
