Corn (Everything has come to this moment)

A blog post from The Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art – David City, NE

Corn – an exhibition at Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art, opened yesterday September 24th, 2016. Margaret Berry of Lincoln, NE and I will are exhibiting work centered around a shared passion; a shared obsession; a shared appreciation of all things corn. Encaustic, ceramic, mixed media, iron, soil, stitches upon stitches… you will find it all in this exhibit. Too, an homage to Andy Warhol that I couldn’t resist.  The show, up through January 8, 2017 is a melding of work that sometimes is indistinguishable from each other.  That is really something for me to take in on my drive back to Chicago – the first leg of the trip I will be taking shortly.

***Corn (Everything has come to this moment), my latest work above, is dedicated to my mother, Helen Schwalbe – 85. She has been my collaborator. She has been a mentor. She has always been a creative. Of course, as an Iowa girl, she is the corn, too. I thank her for so much.***

Also, yesterday, at District 10 Schoolhouse, Linwood, NE, a community gathering place, was a shared corn centric meal on dinner plates that I have made.  50 kindred spirits shared a lovely meal from the chef of Rail Car of Omaha. This show is two plus years in the imagining and planning, and indeed, everything has come to this moment.

I want to thank the curator, Amanda Mobley Guenther for believing in my work, and ours together, and for the organization that is Bone Creek. This jewel of a museum, founded by like-minded artists/collectors, and now led by the Executive Director Anna Nolan, believes in artists that center their work around the agrarian imagery and experience. I am honored to be exhibiting here. The show runs through January 8, 2017.
