“Chasing Sun, Becoming Moss”

Textile art is easy to get lost in. Renata Daina’s fabric work is no exception, woven squares and twisting ropes for viewers to immerse themselves in the coils and turns, in corners of joined threads and tufted squares. Daina’s new exhibit at Connelly Martin takes a distinctly earthy tone: sunsets woven in purple and yellow, and gray-green rectangles covered with strange, wormish tangles. It all beckons toward the harmony of our planet. Join the opening reception this Saturday for a special glimpse into Daina’s natural viewpoint. – Cat McCarrey
