Collaborative Weaving Now Displayed Indoors
Starlight Studio and Art Gallery will have its collaborative weaving on display in the Erie County Rath Building Lobby through February 15, 2007.
Starlight Studio and Art Gallery, which is a habilitation program for adults with disabilities located in downtown Buffalo, worked with fiber artist Jozef Bajus during the Summer of 2006 to create two outdoor weavings on Delaware Avenue. After this enriching and exhilarating experience the Starlight participants wished to create an indoor weaving that would not be subjected to the whims of nature (the first two came down soon after the October surprise storm).
This weaving was made in the Starlight Gallery during a reception where Jozef Bajus, the Starlight participants, staff and the visiting community all contributed.
Bajus, Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Fiber Design Program at Buffalo State College and an award-winning artist with an exhibition history that spans North America and Europe, often recycles “found” materials into his art. The “Curved Circle” exhibition, which recently premiered at the Buffalo Arts Studio and has since traveled to Bajus’ home country of Slovakia, is rich with refined works that feature found photographs, junk mail and roofing paper.
