Departing from the more neutral palate of the Musings, Cohen’s colourful compositions crafted from fiber, found materials and paint will be shown alongside Judge’s wall pieces of cast-plaster sewing paraphernalia; together they will create a lively and lighthearted engagement on the gallery walls. In addition, some of the pieces will be a collaboration between the two artists and Judge will include her very popular four-inch cast buttons that will be sold individually.Both well established artists feel strongly about ‘giving back’ and contributing to the gallery’s mandate to support and encourage artistic exploration. All work will be donated and for sale. Since each composition will be made up of several pieces, a template will accompany each work sold so that they can easily be re-hung.While Cohen and Judge use different materials, they share a sensibility and artistic integrity that will make ‘Dancing on the Wall’ an exhibition not to be missed.<h2>The Artists</h2>Dancing on the Wall is a collaborative effort between artists Barbara Cohen and Jenny Judge, who have generously donated their time and work in support of the Craft Council of BC and the craft sector.Montreal born artist Barbara Cohen attended Sheridan College School of Design in Ontario where she majored in textiles. In 1979 she moved to Vancouver and eventually transitioned to focus on body ornament. Creating jewelry offered an intimacy and commitment to refinement that spoke to her sensibilities. Using materials out of context is a consistent aspect of her work. She has been widely exhibited and published both nationally and internationally, won awards and is included in the permanent collection in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.Jenny Judge is a contemporary craft artist who works in glass, ceramic and fibre installation. She holds an MFA from the University of Minnesota, and has exhibited extensively in Canada and abroad. She has curated exhibitions within BC, and has been on numerous exhibition and funding application panels. Her curatorial focus is to expand the perceived boundaries of Craft, and selects artists who offer a fresh and experimental perspective in their work.
