Skylight Book Launch

Skylight Book Launch

A handmade Limited edition letterpress book launch

ARTSPACE at Untitled is pleased to host a book launch to present Skylight, a handmade limited edition book of poems by local poet Jane Vincent Taylor.

Skylight is a twenty-four poem narrative told in the voice of a woman — a teacher and poet — spending her final days in an assisted living facility. Though physically failing, the narrator continues to read, observe, communicate, and dream.

Denise Brady edited and designed the book. She hand set and printed the letterpress edition and also completed the non-adhesive sewing into handmade paper covers. Nolan Bennett assisted with this edition through a University of Nebraska at Omaha Fine Arts Press/Gibraltar Editions Fellowship.

Hanna Demma created a unique drawing on her handmade over-beaten abaca paper for each copy, which has been tipped into the title page spread.

Published by Gibraltar Editions in Omaha, Nebraska, Skylight is limited to 55 copies, each signed by the poet, visual artist, and book artist.

The book launch is scheduled for Thursday, October 10, 2024, 5-7 p.m. at ARTSPACE at Untitled, NE 3rd Street in Oklahoma City and will feature a short reading by the poet and comments by the book artist.

Copies will be available for sale. $65.00 each.

Uncovering | Qu'aint Exhibition

Uncovering

Quilt + Paint 

Qu’aint is an ongoing conversation between painting and quilting, past and present. Sarah Atlee, Brenda Esslinger, Elizabeth Richards, Ann Solinski, Agnes Stadler, and Jason Wilson have been collaborating since 2018 to investigate the different ways we make meaning from material.

The Uncovering | Qu’aint Exhibition features contemporary art quilts and paintings that are inspired by the two art forms’ commonalities.

There is a common misconception that quilting is a dying art. The collaborative art group Qu’aint is here to show audiences that quilting is alive and thriving, inspiring contemporary artists to reach new ground.

With Uncovering, the Qu’aint artists hope to illuminate the ways that genres overlap and provoke conversation about what unites us.

Mark your calendars now for the opening reception of Uncovering at ARTSPACE at Untitled on May 23rd, 5-8 PM.

Explorations by Betty Busby

Betty Busby is a lifelong artist who creates phenomenal fiber art and quilts. She is often inspired by the macro world, exploring the structures and forms of nature.

photos by Ann Sherman

After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design with a ceramics major, Betty Busby founded a custom ceramic tile manufacturing firm in Los Angeles. After nearly 20 years of running the firm, she sold the business in 1994 (it is still in operation to this day). Upon relocating to New Mexico, she changed the focus of her artwork to fiber, taking it full time in 2004.

Her manufacturing background has lead to constant experimentation with new materials and techniques that fuel her work.  Originally inspired by Amish quilts at the Kutztown County Fair near her childhood home in Pennsylvania, her work has made the journey from bed quilts to mixed media sculpture, and is constantly evolving and heading in new directions.

The classic fractal structures of the sub microscopic world are a persistent model, as are natural processes, such as oxidation, replication and growth.
