In this series, a strong focus on quilting and folk art underscores each piece. Drawing upon memories from growing up in a household where exploring creativity was a daily experience, I have sought to celebrate craftsmanship of the past and recall work made by human hands. #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 2px; --tweak-text-block-stroke-color: hsla(var(--black-hsl), 1) ; } #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { --tweak-text-block-blend : normal; } #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { --blur-value: blur(15px);} @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } #block-283e8884f9c37efef071 { --opacity: 100%; --translate-x: 0px; --translate-y: 0px; --rotation: 0deg; --scale-x: 100%; --scale-y: 100%; --skew-x: 0deg; --skew-y: 0deg; --origin-x: 50%; --origin-y: 50%; --block-transform: none; opacity: var(--opacity, 1); transform: var(--block-transform); transform-origin: var(--origin-x) var(--origin-y); } ARTIST BIO: Joe Dill was born and raised in Northeast Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Design and Technology from Northern Kentucky University. Joe has exhibited his work throughout the State of Ohio and the Northern Kentucky region and is excited for this to be his first exhibition in Provincetown. He is a mixed media artist who primarily works with wood reeds that have defined his work for the last decade. His abstracted, textured works are heavily influenced by the teachings of Rowena Reed Kostello who emphasized the importance of balance and harmony. She stressed that there is a structure to visual relationships that serves as the underlying principle of all art and design. Joe regularly takes inspiration from his environment, working to abstract architecture and landscapes to highlight the balance that surrounds us every day. #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 2px; --tweak-text-block-stroke-color: hsla(var(--black-hsl), 1) ; } #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { --tweak-text-block-blend : normal; } #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { --blur-value: blur(15px);} @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } #block-a36505cc3d574ad33571 { --opacity: 100%; --translate-x: 0px; --translate-y: 0px; --rotation: 0deg; --scale-x: 100%; --scale-y: 100%; --skew-x: 0deg; --skew-y: 0deg; --origin-x: 50%; --origin-y: 50%; --block-transform: none; opacity: var(--opacity, 1); transform: var(--block-transform); transform-origin: var(--origin-x) var(--origin-y); }
