The Arts Council of Beaufort, Port Royal, & the Sea Islands in Beaufort, SC, Offers Works by Laurie Lovell and Cindy Male

The Arts Council of Beaufort, Port Royal, and the Sea Islands in Beaufort, SC, is presenting In A Different Context Of Time And Space, an exhibit of installation art, on view at the Lovell/Male studio space in ARTworks, through Mar. 28, 2014. Participating artists are Laurie Lovell and Cindy Male.

The exhibit is comprised of textile pieces by two different artists and reflects their distinct sensibilities. The installation Three Journeys is an “eye labyrinth” which was created by Cindy Male in 2000. The floor cushions which are part of the piece invite quiet contemplation. In contrast, Laurie Lovell’s new work, an untitled piece, invites the viewer to journey through a series of suspended and draped free-form shapes which the artist describes as “reactive structures”. The juxtaposition provokes visitors to question the sensory and conceptual ways in which we interact with art.

Laurie Lovell is a native of Ohio, who received an MFA in Fibers from the Savannah College of Art & Design. For the past 12 years, Lovell’s work has been exhibited in both individual and group shows in South Carolina, Georgia and Ohio.

Cindy Male splits her time between the Beaufort, SC, area and St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Both an educator and an artist, Male’s work is strongly influenced by her studies of left brain/right brain theory, chaos theory, and studies of brain states and expanded consciousness.
