I Heard a Voice: The Art of Lesley Dill: Columbia Museum of Art
Now through Sunday, January 23, 2011 This is the last weekend for this very interesting show. If you are a fan of unique artistic expression, you'll be captivated. Dill’s work can be both ephemeral and spiritual, drawing on her travels in India and her interest in Buddhism, as she uses bronze, photography, poetry, thread, wire and paper to sculpt figures and build tapestries. Her pieces give visual form to poetic texts by Emily Dickinson, Salvador Espriu, Franz Kafka and others. For Dill, words are her ‘spiritual armor’ and she freely stitches and weaves them across the surfaces of her multi-layered works. Columbia Museum of Art in downtown Columbia.
