Elizabeth Keithline | MEET THE ARTIST & Solve the Puzzle!
Elizabeth Keithline | MEET THE ARTIST and solve the puzzle!
Saturday, September 12th, 2 pm
Elizabeth Keithline is at Wallkill River Center for the Arts on Saturday, September 12, 2:00 PM where she will casually discuss her solo exhibition, Puzzle – while working on a puzzle! This exhibit and the accompanying group show, Keep It Together, present assemblage artworks using found paint and materials. Both exhibitions examine how people create systems of order out of chaos, how they solve problems and navigate life’s challenges within the metaphor of repurposed materials.
About Elizabeth Keithline:
Elizabeth Keithline has been a weaver since the age of 14. In 1996, she pioneered a unique sculpture technique: weaving heavy-gauge wire around large objects and then burning them out. Her artistic practice now includes painting, public art, and installation work. Keithline is fascinated by abstraction—how far ideas can stretch, how many multiples of a single thought can be expressed, and how viewers engage with abstraction as they perceive an idea and then carry it away with them.
Puzzle marks Keithline’s 23rd solo exhibition, and Keep It Together will be her 23rd juried or curated group show. She has exhibited widely across the United States, with solo shows for the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, ChaShaMa NYC, Jane Street Art Center, (Saugerties, NY), Peabody Essex Museum, Danforth Museum, Newport Art Museum, Waiting Room Gallery (New Orleans), Blue Star Contemporary (San Antonio), ArtPrize (Grand Rapids), Real Art Ways, UMass Amherst, and Wheaton College.
