25 third graders1956 by Len Cowgill
Artist Reception
July 22

Be part of the event: wear black and/or white!

Len Cowgill places his drawings in boxes and bottles and surrounds them with writing and found objects. “My work is about containment. I explore some facet of the human condition in a drawing and box it up or put it in a bottle. I create a stage for the drawings and invite the audience to get close, look at and touch it. It becomes an experience shared, a story that’s been told; perhaps not the story I had in mind.”

Reception: Friday, July 22, 2011
5 to 8 pm

Thrilled that this film found its funding we can hear a story that needs to be retold. The battle isn't over.

I don’t think that art comes from art. A lot of artists apparently think so. I think it comes from the awakening person…Everything tends toward awakening, and I would rather use the word awakening than a word derived from some system – because there are many systems.

Uncommon Threads seeks artist books and other forms of book and paper art that utilize handicraft techniques, materials or subjects as a way to round out, illustrate or compliment a central concept. Remember, it’s not just about the materials or techniques. Let’s dispel the myth that the handicrafts can’t have any part in meaningful art.
