Continuum: First Friday Reception

  • Gravers Lane Gallery 8405 Germantown Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19118 United States (map)

Continuum highlights the work of two Philadelphia area female artists, painter Jan Morgen and fiber artist Pamela E. Becker. GLG brings them into dialogue about the dedication they apply to their artistic practices, spanning decades. Both artists explore materials with a keen awareness of detail; one layering pigment with mark making and the other coiling embroidery thread into large scale vessels. Their time consuming processes invite healing and contemplative states of being: stitch by stitch; row by row; layer, mark, scrape, paint, repeat. Patterns, symbols and color play off each other in this serene pairing of painting and basketry.

"A picture made in a single moment? No, it is built up piece-by-piece, just like a house. And the spectator—is his looking done in a single moment?" Paul Klee

Curators: Bruce Hoffman, Chloë Le Pichon, Kate Crankshaw

First Friday Reception: May 3rd 2024 5-8pm; Artist Talk with Jan Morgen and Pamela Becker at 6:30.
