Beloved Land: a Series by David Hale
May 27 – July 22, 2017
Lower Atrium and West Upper Atrium
Every aspect of "The Beloved Land Series" echoes David Hale’s love for Athens, Georgia. Hale draws his influence for these multi-media works from the Creek (or Muscogee) Indians, who called this land, between the forks of the Oconee Rivers, Ikunu- tchaka, the Beloved Land. Hale says “It was more than a special place to them, it was Sacred, and they gave their lives to protect it and the creatures that reside upon it.”

This exhibition is of the work of six artists who create woven responses as visual recordings of the passing of time: Janet Austin, Geri Forkner, Janette Meetze, Rebecca Mezoff, Tommye Scanlin, and Kathy Spoering. Three of the artists have an ongoing practice of daily weaving a separate bit on a loom dedicated to the purpose, almost like making an entry into a journal or diary.  Another has designed and woven tapestries representing each calendar month of the year.  The fifth artist uses discarded papers and other objects in a small daily weavings that become part of larger year-long pieces when assembled together.
