“Facade” (hand-woven and Jacquard-woven fabric, knitting, paint), by Maris Van Vlack, in the show “The Blu of Distance,’’ at Bromfield Gallery, Boston, Jan. 3-Jan. 28
The gallery explains:
"‘The Blue of Distance’ features a series of textile objects that combine weaving, knitting, and paint to create layered and dimensional images referencing architecture, family history, and abandoned landscapes.
“The imagery is drawn from an archive of family photographs, using layering of material as a process through which to explore the way that landscapes evolve overtime through geological and historical events. Each of these pieces function as a window through which to see layers of time and memory, and depict spaces that exist between the past and the present.’’
