Claremont artist Sumi Foley will take part in an upcoming exhibition
at the Bunny Gunner Gallery in Pomona. The exhibition, entitled
In Visible, will run from January 10 to February 7.
Ms. Foley make her hand-sewn art using abandoned kimonos and
other fabrics. Her current work will take a more positive spin
as she moves away from darker themes that were common in her
work.
The change comes from attending husband John York's concerts
and seeing the joy that music can instill in people reflected
in their smiling faces. "I want to share this kind of energy
in my art, not just fear and sadness, but positive emotions
and the small joys and happiness in everyday life," Ms.
Foley said. "If you don't pay attention you can miss out
on them."
Other artists featured at the exhibition include Tomoko Suzuki
showcasing drawings, Cindy Rinne displaying Fiberverse and Penn
Weldon offering paitings.
The Bunny Gunner Gallery is located at 266 W. 2nd Street in
Pomona. An opening reception will take place on Saturday, January
10 from 6 pm to 11 pm. where visitors can meet the artists and
enjoy refreshments.
