“Enclosures #11,” Jane Lackey

A Space to Enter, an exhibition held in concert with the 2017 SDA Making Our Mark of mixed media works by nationally known artist Jane Lackey. Lackey was cosponsored by the American Craft Council, as an ACC Fiber Fellow. The exhibition included works from Enclosures, a series of drawings on translucent paper. In the words of the artist, these drawings “combine spatial characteristics of architecture or landscape schema that echo the intricacy of body systems. Each locate the familiarity of a place remembered, imagined, entered. Maplike, their scale, delicate thread lines or jagged cut tape engage the intimacy, time and provocations of close viewing.” Lackey is a visual artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her recent drawings and installations explore analogous relationships between cloth’s over/under interconnections and social hooks of language and communication.”
