Emily Dickinson and Contemporary Fine Printing - Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia SC...
Here is an interesting exhibit at the Columbia Museum of Art. When scheduling holiday activities, a visit to an art museum may not be the first thing to come to mind. However, this looks splendid, and it is never too early to expose children to the world of art.
Emily Dickinson and Contemporary Fine Printing
October 01, 2010 - January 23, 2011
The book installation, Emily Dickinson and Contemporary Fine Printing, is a companion to the exhibition, I Heard a Voice: The Art of Lesley Dill on view through January 23, 2011.
The installation is made up of books from the last 50 years and includes a copy of the poet’s first collection in 1890. Dickinson’s poems and original art inspired by the poet and her work are a special loan from the Thomas Cooper Library Rare Books and Special Collections.
Dill’s works give visual form to poetic texts particularly by Dickinson. For Dill, words are her ‘spiritual armor’ and she freely stitches and weaves them across the surfaces of her multi-layered works.
"Language is the touchstone, the pivot point of all my work." – Lesley Dill
