Fragments of Belonging: Artists’ Talk with Dalit Fresco and Jan Blythe at GearBox Gallery

Dalit Fresco and Jan Blythe will discuss their exhibition Fragments of Belonging at GearBox Gallery on Saturday, August 15th at 1:00pm. Come join the conversation.

About Dalit Fresco: Growing up at the intersection of Asia, Europe and Africa, a place where varied layers of cultures and traditions, languages and signs, music and soundscapes, have all shaped Dalit’s outlook, offering a visual abundance of colors and designs. Fragments of Belonging is a collection of recent pieces that are influenced by an emotional sensitivity to events of loss, as well as confidently reaching out for a dialogue between ways of seeing, with a constant reflection of memories and current state of observing and interacting.

About Jan Blythe: Born in Scotland, Jan was raised in Glasgow, a city with strong arts and cultural heritage. Her recent works in the show encompass personal, found and natural materials, which are hand stitched together to form sculptures. Another work is a stack of cut, tartan wool fabrics, Jan has collected over the years. She includes a piece of sculpture made from strips of reclaimed swimming pool cover draped over a wooden form.

GearBox Gallery is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 12pm to 5pm
Located in the Art Building at 770 West Grand Ave in Oakland.
