Amy Dove Brings a Riot of Color to the Butterfield
Fiber Artist Amy Dove is Butterfield Garage’s March Featured Artist. Opening First Friday, March 1, Amy's riot of 3-dimensional sunflowers welcome spring as they dazzle visitors in the gallery. Amy will be present in the gallery from 5-9 pm to discuss her process and inspirations.
Inspired by her resonance with the Sun, Amy uses natural fibers to create layers of highly textured, colorful and three dimensional blooms, massaging, kneading, rolling, and sculpting the fibers into fanciful felt fleurs du soliel. They seem to be saying: “Seize the synergy of the seeds and sun! Turn towards the light!”
In Amy’s own words, “Sunflowers - radiant, timeless, cheerful - demand attention! I see them as little star blossoms full of vitality resembling our Sun. In this series, I have created vibrant blossoms both delighting the eye, and with their energy, drawing the viewer in for a deeper look.”
