City Gallery in Charleston, SC, Presents Works by Kit Loney
In Charleston, SC, the City Gallery at the Dock Street Theatre will present an exhibit of mixed media on vellum by Folly Beach, SC, artist Kit Loney, from Apr. 14 - May 14, 2004, entitled Pages from an Unfinished Manuscript.
Loney holds a WA in fiber arts from the University of South Carolina, and a BFA in sculpture from the University of Massachusetts. Over the last twenty-five years she has exhibited in numerous craft fairs in the Northeast as well as in museum and gallery group shows nationally. Her work has been featured in The Boston Globe Shuttle Spindle and Dyespot and Fiberarts Design Book Five. Locally, she has had one-person exhibits at the Spartanburg Museum of Art and Francis Marion University, as well as having her work featured in Crafts of the Carolinas at the Gibbes Museum of Art, and Triennial '98 at the State Museum in Columbia. Lonely currently teaches art at Fort Johnson Middle School.
Loney comments on her work: "I draw and paint to see. The attempt to render something faithfully, for me, always involves the creation of a fiction around that identity. The more I try to zero in on the truth of a thing, the more aware I become of the difference between it and my fabrication. This leaves me with a keener awareness of the thing itself, which always dances just beyond description, and leaves the work to establish its own reality, the result of combining and layering these fragments of perception."
