East Stroudsburg University\u2019s Madelon Powers Gallery will present\u00a0Transfiguration: Woven Forms<\/em> by Jennifer Zackin from February 2 – March 4. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m., Monday \u2013 Friday.<\/p>\n

A reception for the artist will take place Wednesday, February 2 from 4 \u2013 6 p.m. in the gallery located in the university\u2019s Fine and Performing Arts Center, Normal and Marguerite streets. Both the exhibit and reception are open to the public at no cost.<\/p>\n

Transfiguration: Woven Forms<\/em> presents new sculptural works created by Jennifer Zackin during the pandemic. In this body of work, Zackin takes a deeper dive into her Vortex Weavings. Mathematically speaking, a vortex is a three-dimensional ring or doughnut shaped-object around which energy can flow. As it spins, a vortex forms through its central axis. This pattern can be found throughout the universe in hurricanes, galaxies, and atoms.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a07 Chairs\u00a0series, featured in this exhibit, Zackin uses late 20th<\/sup> century lawn furniture\u00a0and three tractor seat stools\u00a0as\u00a0armatures\u00a0for imaginary 3-dimensional landscapes woven from materials including colorful rope and scraps of fabric and become gravity-defying underwater-like worlds, mountain ranges, escape hatches, and refuges.<\/p>\n

The artist’s ongoing Vortex works are woven with various materials \u2013 often cotton rope \u2013 on large cube-shaped looms. For the current exhibition, Zackin has created Phoenix, a 44\u201dx44\u201d loom onto which she has woven a fabric made from her own old clothing, piecing together bits and scraps to create a new, cohesive, multidimensional form.<\/p>\n

Visitors to the gallery are invited to bring an article of clothing to be woven into a community Vortex project. Over the course of the exhibition, through the interweaving of parts of our personal history, a unique collective fabric will begin to emerge.<\/p>\n

For the last 22\u00a0years, Jennifer Zackin has been integrating public art, sculpture, installation, performance, collaboration, ceremony, photography, video, collage and drawing into acts of reverence and reciprocity. Her work has been exhibited in national and international museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, N.Y.; Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Conn.; Spertus Museum, Chicago, Ill.; Rose Museum, Mass.; the Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio; Contemporary Art Museum, Houston, Texas; The Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, H\u00f8vikodden, Norway; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Mass.; and the Zacheta National Art Gallery, Warsaw, Poland.
