Liv Aanrud is a textile artist who combines elements of weaving, tufting, painting and drawing to dimensional fabric paintings and installations. In her talk to the Green Mountain Hooking Guild, Liv will discuss how her work progressed from painting into textiles, and how intuition, improvisation, rhythm, and scale influence how and what she makes.
She earned her B.F.A with a painting emphasis from the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire in 2001 and an M.F.A from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in 2011.
Aanrud’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at New Image Art, Arvia, 1700 Naud, and TSA-LA in Los Angeles; Sierra Nevada College in Lake Tahoe, NV, Oasis Gallery, Marquette, MI, John Davis Gallery and Pamela Salisbury Gallery in Hudson NY, and Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, NYC. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions across the U.S., Taiwan, Germany, and Spain. She has an upcoming exhibition in Lillehammer, Norway.
She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
The Board met and came to the conclusion that there wasn’t time to plan a Hook In for July, and that many members were busy with vacation plans and finally getting to be with grand-children. We’ll look to schedule something in the fall.
We’re hoping your local groups are finding time and spaces to get together.
The Brattleboro Rug Social group was able to meet in our usual space for the first time last week. It was so good to be able to be in the same space together.
We still hope people are thinking about how to Hook in Public this summer, but the weather has been challenging! Maybe looking into the fall will be good for that too.
We’re not far in our 251 Challenge to Hook in Public in all 251 towns in Vermont. But please do let us know where you’ve been hooking or if you’re thinking about participating in a fair, Old Home Days, festival or other gathering. We want more people to SEE what we do and get interested in hooking or punching.
An edited version of our May workshop, via Zoom is available here for those who missed it. Thanks to Anne-Marie Littenberg for a great presentation and to Sharon O’Neill for facilitating, editing the recorded session and getting it up on our YouTube channel.
