Tuesday, Textiles and Tea, accidental art

Tuesday brought a very good physical therapy session, interesting stuff including a balance mat, that was fun, and I need resistance bands. He's an imaginative practitioner, creating new interesting moves for me.

Then on to Textiles and Tea with Arturo Alonzo Sandoval, a Kentucky-based artist whose work involves weaving, along with other approaches.  He uses mylar film, holographic material, novelty fabrics, microfilm, aluminum flashing and all kinds of unlikely materials. He creates enormous works, including two story high installations. 

He addresses politics, religion, COVID losses, computer hardware, light and color, and you'll see how exciting his work is.

Behind him is the beginning of his next series depicting stained glass

This is a detail of the slide two up from here, about the losses from COVID

And this is about a computer motherboard

At the right is the maquette of the main piece

This on the left is about terrorism, from the Munich Olympic massacre, to 9/11. On the right is a commentary about the Confederate statues removed, the Confederate flag,  and the stars and stripes in distress position

And here's part of the the studio where this work happens. 

He's a powerful artist, with a huge voice, needed now more than ever.

At home I caught this little accidental art shot in the kitchen last night

Happy day everyone, better than yesterday around here
