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.
