City of North Charleston in North Charleston, SC, Features Works by Arianne King Comer
The North Charleston City Gallery at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center and Charleston Area Convention Center will present the exhibit, Metamorphosis, featuring fiber works by accomplished, local indigo artist Arianne King Comer. The exhibition will be on view from Oct. 5 - 31, 2006, at the gallery in North Charleston, SC.
Comer is a multi-talented artist specializing in batik using the historical indigo dye process to create batik paintings, wearable art, and decorative items. She is a graduate of Howard University and has studied textiles at the graduate level at Detroit Center of Creative Studies and Cranbrook Art Academy.
Comer worked as a certified art teacher in
Michigan before pursuing art full time and studying the indigo
dye process on a United Nations grant in Oshogbo, Nigeria in 1992.
She was the director of the Ibile Indigo House at Penn Center,
on St. Helens Island, SC, until 2004 and she relocated to Charleston
in 2006. Additionally, Comer is the 2006/2007 Artist in Residence
for the City of North Charleston. She is excited to offer classes/workshops
on the indigo process, once a major cash crop for South Carolina,
and engage students in learning the many facets of batik textile
design.
