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.
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.
