The Art base is pleased to present the first exhibition in its new location at 174 Midland Ave in historic Basalt.  Boulder-based artist Heather Cherry will exhibit both drawings and fiber-based artworks in A Light Within. Cherry explores ideas of time, language, and place in her work that finds form through considered processes of spinning, weaving and mark-making. This exhibition will be on view through Saturday, June 26^th.

Cherry utilizes unconventional materials such as handspun thread formed from dictionary pages, small paper clay pieces, and tiny “fields” created from thread and pigment to create her quiet and contemplative artworks. A Light Within alternates between singular objects and fields of mark making, which Cherry describes as “an ode to that which can be held, and the expansiveness within.”
