Punch Card II – Arena 1 Gallery
The internet is alive and well today thanks to… textiles? Punch Card II, a group show with six talented artists, blends the traditional medium of textiles with today’s digital technology in a show that gives the old loom a whole new spin. Basically, the works of the artists show that perhaps our digital savviness comes has roots in the loom itself. The artists work in everything from pixels to thread to weave together unique pieces such as Victor de La Rosa’s intriguing flag. Made with computer graphics and hand looming, the flag blends neon, textile colors into a form that alludes to the American flag. Head to Arena 1 Gallery on March 30 for the opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
