Details:

The Ringling presents a solo exhibition of works by Lorna Bieber in May that includes two new pieces making their debut in the Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art. Bieber’s artwork first and foremost encourages us to indulge in the pleasures of looking and discovering anew the details of the visual world. Bieber’s artistic practice is grounded in the principles of appropriating, recycling, and manipulating imagery. Her process emerged while working as a photo-editor for major magazines when she began creating innovative work using found and stock images that she manipulated and remixed on copy machines. Over the past decade, her work has evolved into massive textile pieces, which she calls her Montage series, that take up vast sections of wall but are made from small graphic fragments painstakingly woven together. The process typically takes a year or two to complete. Once finished, she digitally photographs the work and has it produced on canvas, connecting her practice to the medieval tradition of tapestries and textile wall-hangings.
