“Cedars of Door County” Gallery Exhibit.   7/12/2008 –12/31/2008 at Interfibers Design Gallery,CTY Rd. F, Fish Creek,
In keeping with our 150th Year efforts to work with local artists to creatively celebrate our appreciation for all past and potential efforts to live in harmony with nature Wendy Carpenter and Daryl Asbury have developed a unique exhibition paying homage to the enduring, natural beauty that Cedar trees have provided to our peninsula environment “Yesterday....Today...and will provide for many Tomorrows.”
Wendy, a fiber artist, and Daryl, an oil painter, are creating a series of sculptures and paintings…depicting the character and charm found in the Door County majestic cedar tree. The art exhibit is an attempt to bring forth a stronger awareness for the arts and environment.
Interfibers is collaborating with the town of Gibraltar’s theme for the 150th Sesquicentennial celebration, “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”. To promote tree planting and preservation, Interfibers will be selling live cedar trees during the “Cedars of Door County” art reception at Interfibers Design Gallery. The tree sale proceeds will be donated to the Fish Creek Parks in collaboration with the town of Gibraltar Sesquicentennial. Hopefully, we will see many cedar trees planted around the peninsula and taken home with visitors!
For the “Cedars of Door County” art exhibit Wendy is designing a series of mix media coiled tree sculptures for the wall. The sculptures depict the unusual cedar growth and movement found in the intertwining spiraling root system. Wendy is also weaving a large cast paper inlay wall hanging… representing flora, water, earth and fire.
Daryl is painting cedar tree compositions on hard board…utilizing his unique surface painting techniques that expose under lying layers, texture and colors. Daryl paints from memory…imbued with emotion, often moody but consistently rich and deep. Both Daryl and Wendy’s work comes from a connection to nature.
