Virginia Mahoney Art

In the last few months, I’ve been stitching words instead of writing them. It’s a very time-consuming project. You can see the results in one of the works on view at my solo show, “Holding Thoughts” at Boston Sculptors LaunchPad Gallery. The work is called, “Please Listen” (acrylic, ink, stitched words and handwriting on cut paintings on paper, woven into reclaimed produce netting, steel, thread, 72 x 18 x 14 inches) It's the piece on the. right in the second slide. There are a few more days to see it, and there’s a FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION this week on May 2 from 5-8:30! I’ll be there, so come on down! #bostonsculptorsgallery #bostonsculptorslaunchpadgallery # #sculpture #virginiamahoney #paper #weaving #stitching #words #cutuppaintings #words #text #handwriting #mixedmedia #SoWa #pleaselisten #SoWaArt+Design #Bostonareaartist #bostonart #brocktonartist #brocktonart

NINE MORE DAYS (if you count today) to see my show, “Holding Thoughts” at Boston Sculptors LaunchPad Gallery! The gallery is open 11-5 Wednesday-Sunday, EXCEPT Friday, May 2, when there’s a FIRST FRIDAY reception from 5-8:30 pm. Hope to see you there! And if you can’t make the reception but do see the show, please leave me a note in the book on the shelf at the big window! I’d love to hear your thoughts on “Holding Thoughts!”

In the main galleries, Andy Zimmerman’s “Snulpture” -- steel and stretched dacron vignettes with integrated audio and kinetic electronics -- suggests a range of narratives, from warfare, battles, and war machines, to nature, re-birth, and dreams of peace and harmony.
And Kristina Goransson’s “Topia”-- felted, woven, mixed media installations and objects -- speaks to a better future in a world where nature flourishes long after the demise of humankind. Two fabulous shows!
