"Gradations" by Debbie Barrett-Jones

"Gradation" Two weeks to put together a show. When I was asked almost three weeks ago if I could put together a show in just two weeks, I had to say yes. I was so thankful I didn't have to apply for a gallery show, the 2009 Gallery is a great space and I had work to show. I thought the two weeks notice was perfect because it didn't give me much time to stress out and I wouldn't have time to make anything new. But of course, a few days after the agreement I started setting out yarn to make not only one but THREE new weavings. I made it through the crazy four days of installation. Half of the time with my girls. Almost thought it was impossible. But here I am six days after the opening. I/my whole family survived and it was a successful opening. And I am excited to announce that on Thursday September 27th I am having a closing reception 5-8 for those that couldn't make it to the opening. Here is a slide show of some images that I have taken so far. Still working on editing but I wanted to go ahead and post it. ENJOY!!

Isaiah 1:18

“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." Always up for a challenge, Jacob's Well Church had an "Open Call" for artist to create an art piece or poem influenced by some verses in Isaiah. Normally I would not do a piece that was influenced by words but I was up for the challenge. So, I looked for a verse that had colors in it.....and right away I knew this was the verse. 18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
