I went to see Maggie Cardelús’s art exhibit and it was really interesting to see her artwork in person because I had previously gone to her talk in October where she was explaining all the different kinds of art she does. The photo that I took was of her work with the small plastic pieces. I really like how much detail the piece has. I also really liked looking at her needlepoint pieces and thought they where very impressive. I like how Maggie has used such different materials throughout her career like all of her pieces made out of paper.

Title of Event: Driftpoints: The Gleaners by Maggie Cardelús

Date and Time of event: November 14 at 5pm

Location of Event: Holmes Hall

Type of Event: Exhibition

For my third ArtXpose I went to Maggie Cardelús needlepoint artwork exhibition in Holmes Hall. Her needlepoint was very detailed and an amazing representation of hard work. The needlepoint works were all very similar, depicting women working in a field. Each piece of art had almost an identical scene, but the coloration, mesh count, artistic interpretation, and size varied. They were very intricate and I learned that Maggie Cardelús experimented with a variety of hands-on approaches to make each one. In her work, she shifts this medium of work from decorative to critical. I really enjoyed seeing Cardelús’ artwork and learning about her process.
