A full color exhibition catalog of Marilyn Henrion's latest series of artworks entitled Complexity, introduced at Noho Gallery in New York City in April, 2012. The catalog includes an insightful essay by art critic, Ed McCormack. These new mixed media works are inspired by the natural world. The works find resonance in the scientific theory of Complexity, as well as in poetry. With this 20th solo exhibition, Marilyn Henrion marks her 80th birthday. Continuing her commitment to applying contemporary aesthetic sensibilities to traditional textile techniques and combining them with modern technologies, the artist celebrates that irregular and intimate quality of things made of the human hand. In this series, she prints her digitally manipulated photographs on fabric, adding depth and animation to the surfaces by hand quilting with silk thread. Constructed with the finest materials and museum-quality craftsmanship, the medium is transformed into a vehicle for sophisticated visual expressions with strong graphic impact.
Marilyn Henrion's series of artworks entitled Noise, accompanied by critical essay by Ed McCormack. In this series, the artist celebrates noise as a metaphor for life. ....from the presence of vast interstellar matter that fills the universe to the activity of billions of quantum particles contained in every cell of our bodies. Noise of thunder. Noise of ocean waves. noise of a lover's voice. Noise in the spaces between words. Noise of a baby's cry. Noise of a symphony. Noise of our breathing. All reasons to wake up in the morning. Having built an international reputation for her exquisitely hand quilted artworks, the artist now brings her contemporary sensibilities and obsessive hand-work to yet another traditional form of textile-based art. In this series, derived from rug-hooking techniques, the geometric abstraction which has always characterized her art has been pared down to a minimalism brought to life by the depth of surface inherent in this new format. The controlled serenity on the spare visual elements finds its counterpoint in the raw energy of the surface textures.
