ALUMNI GALLERY: ERIN DANIELS
November 23, 2024 – January 18, 2025
Featuring recent works by Erin Daniels '93 (BFA in Textile Design), Garden of the Soul is a reflection of the artist's historical ties to both Philadelphia and Moore and explores her relationship to objects through the visual interpretation of her heritage.
As a third generation graduate of Moore College of Art & Design and the great granddaughter of a seamstress for the Mummers, Daniels has undeniable roots in Philadelphia's creative history. Her discerning eye for detail and love of color and pattern is equal parts heredity, education, and experience. Daniels has spent extensive time in Great Britain and Ireland—time that included a weaving apprenticeship in Scotland—and her travels within these cultural landscapes lends a unique perspective to her creative aesthetic. Daniels' embroidery work has been published in Vogue Living AU, she has been a guest lecturer at the Textile Study Group of New York in Manhattan, and she was featured on the television program “State of the Arts” broadcast by NJTV.
FANTASY'S SPELL: THE ART OF ENCHANTMENT
January 25 – March 15, 2025
Fantasy art casts a powerful spell. It sweeps us away into imaginary realms where we marvel at strange creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes, opening doors into worlds filled with magic, the supernatural, and powerful spirits that shape the forces of destiny and fate. From the smallest faerie community hidden under a forest leaf, to the watchful eyes of prodigious dragons perched on mountain peaks, fantasy offers artists opportunities to envision wonderous worlds without limits. Fantasy’s Spell: The Art of Enchantment highlights the work of present-day artists whose vivid imaginations and technical skill demonstrate the power that fantasy holds to enchant us – whether for pleasure or fright. Presenting work across a variety of physical, digital, and motion-based media, the exhibition celebrates fantasy’s popularity and growing importance as a genre in contemporary art. Curated in partnership with Jonathan Wallis, PhD, Program Head, Professor of Art History and Humanities, Creative & Critical Studies.
Artists in the exhibition include Daria Aksenova, Francesca Baerald, Shawn Bina, Julie Bell, Dominique Evans, Charis Loke, Christina Myrvold, Winona Nelson, Tran Nguyen, Victo Ngai, David Palumbo, Mike Schley, Jarel Threat, and Katie Woods.
