"Circles Collide" - © Gloria Hansen 2010

I am very honored that my piece, Circles Collide, will be a part of the ITAB exhibition.  The piece is based on a digital painting and the image was printed on silk fabric using archival pigment ink.  It was further enhanced with fabric pastel.

From the press release:

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 22, 2010 – The first International TECHstyle Art Biennial (ITAB) exhibition, a new signature event for the Museum of Quilts & Textiles, opens August 17 and is on view through October 31, 2010. The opening reception, free with admission, is Sunday, August 22, 2:00-4:00pm.

ITAB is a juried exhibition of work by artists mining the expressive potential of combining fiber media with new information and communication technologies in their artistic processes, in the content of their work and as a mean of artistic expression. Leveraging its location in Silicon Valley, ITAB serves as the premiere platform for introducing the emerging work of artists exploring the intersection of fiber art and technology to the global community that assembles—virtually and in the real-world — on the occasion of the San Jose’s biennial ZER01 exhibition, the 2010 01 SJ Biennial, which runs from September 16-19, 2010.

The ITAB 2010 exhibition includes 41 works by 28 artists from six countries— including Canada, China, Germany, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These artists responded to this signature event in a variety of ways using technology in their content and subject matter or as the means for creating the work. The resulting exhibition explores the variety of ways that artists use technology such as jacquard weaving, digital printing and video to express their ideas.
