Please note tha t the reception will take place the weekend\nafter the show opens.       All of the artists in “Abstract\nConstructions” are driven by curio sity\, creating work through a\nprocess-based practice where a piece begin s with an unknown outcome.\nPaying attention to formal design elements\, b ut working intuitively\nwithout a plan\, their hope is to be surprised by the creative process.\nThey have all exhibited both nationally and interna tionally\, with work\nin private and public collections. Numerous accompli shments\, including\nsolo shows\, Quilt National prize-winning pieces\, an d being part of\ntraveling international exhibitions\, are part of their l ist of\naccolades.        Fiber artist Peggy Black returns to the\nPen insula Gallery with work using a variety of mediums and techniques.\nPeggy describes her practice of surrounding herself with cut-out\,\ntorn\, and found papers\, with snippets and remnants of fabric. She\narranges and rea rranges the little parts until they become stories in\nher imagination.       Elizabeth Brandt\, of Michigan\, is a former\ngraphic designer who worked in advertising and illustration until she\nbegan working as a full- time artist in 2010. Elizabeth creates\nabstract sewn and collaged work us ing stitching as an expressive\nelement\, one that doesn’t just hold the elements together but adds\ntexture\, color and dimension\, resulting in sculptural pieces.\nElizabeth was recently featured in the book Cloth: 100 Artists by Lena\nCorwin.       Julia Graziano of Upstate NY and Cape C od is a\ncontemporary artist who brings the excitement of exploring shape\ ,\ndesign\, color\, and texture to her collage work. As a fiber artist\,\n Julia uses collage to inspire her large art quilts. She plays with\nfragme nts of cloth and found and hand-painted paper. While Julia is\nworking\, a conversation begins to take place between the line and\nshape\, to which she responds.        David Hornung is a New\nYork-based mixed media ar tist. He has been teaching for over 50 years\nand was a former professor a t several universities\, including the\nRhode Island School of Design. For the past 13 years\, David has been\nteaching classes in color\, collage\, painting\, and design at workshop\nvenues in the US and abroad. He is the author of Color: A Workshop for\nArtists and Designers\, a practical colo r theory textbook that is used\nin art schools around the world.       Known for her large art\nquilts\, Lewes artist Sarah Pavlik is a regular e xhibitor at Peninsula\nGallery. In “Abstract Constructions\,” Sarah mo ves away from the\nfiber pieces the locals know her for. In an effort to c onstantly\nevolve her practice\, her new work is fabric and paper collages . Her\nartistic process typically involves using a motif or configuration as\ninspiration in creating a piece. Sarah explores the possibilities\,\no ften improvising to create new configurations. Inspired by abstract\ncompo sition\, Sarah’s goal is to create a composition that evokes\nmovement\, tension\, and the viewer’s desire to continue to look at\nthe work.        Interested in the relationship between art and\narchitecture\, Pa ul Rosenblatt is an artist and architect based in\nPittsburgh\, Pennsylvan ia. A graduate of Yale University and a former\nprofessor of architecture at Carnegie Mellon University\, Paul founded\nthe architectural practice S pringboard Design\, which focuses on\nhelping organizations that help othe rs. Having little time for art\nwith his work\, Paul found his way back in to the art world during COVID\nwhen he was able to double down on creative endeavors. Paul’s\nbackground and practice in architecture give him a u nique perspective\non the relationship between paintings and space. His cu rrent work\nexplores the theme of inside/outside\, comfort vs. claustropho bia\,\nurban rooms and landscapes\, seeking to represent their\ninterrelat ionships.       Karen Schulz’s works have been\ndescribed as sophisti cated\, elegant\, and lively\, with notable\nattention to detail and craft smanship.
