LOST + (RE) FOUND

LOST + (RE) FOUND

At the Carter Burden Gallery

548 West 28th Street in New York City.

January 13 - February 9

The reception will be on Thursday, January 13 from 6 - 8pm 


What is Lost? And What is Found? In 2021, The New York Artists Circle presented an online exhibition of 117 selected artists who explored and revealed what is truly important in our lives, as they coped with waves of serial losses and change during this pandemic time. Carter Burden Gallery has invited the New York Artists Circle to put together an in-person gallery version of the online exhibition. The (re)grouping of selected work led to two consecutive shows of 50 works distilled from the original 117; presenting an new opportunity for (re)reflection, (re)entering and (re)viewing up close and personal, aiming for a (re)bound through the (re)found. This important exhibition includes statements from each artist accompanying their work. The show offers the opportunity to (re)visit your own experience and (re)flect on these significant events.

CAUSALITY

CAUSALITY, curated by Kim Powers

At the Atlantic Gallery, NYC

An exhibition of 10 artists from the Brooklyn Crit Group
November 9th – November 27th, 2021


Kim Powers writes, "Eileen Hoffman is thinking outside the box. Stitching together chenille stems and Dura-lar, decorated with personal text and pattern, she sets up a dialog with everywoman. Her "Hidden Storybox" and "The Rapunzel Stories: "Knock the Tower Down" create an escape from the limited boundaries and towers to which female identity has so often been exiled."


WOMEN CELEBRATING WOMEN

I am pleased that my piece, The Rapunzel Stories: Maiden of the Tower, was part of the WOMEN CELEBRATE WOMEN exhibition at El Barrio Artspace PS109, August 12 through August 25, 2021. 

Yvonne Lamar-Rogers, owner of Vonnie Made It!, has partnered with El Barrio’s Artspace PS109 to present the second annual multi-media art exhibition celebrating diversity in New York’s female visual arts community by exhibiting the creative works of 71 local women artists.

Exhibition curator and New York-based mixed media artist, teaching artist and jewelry design- er, Yvonne Lamar-Rogers says the mission of this year’s Women Celebrate Women exhibition is to celebrate and honor women of all backgrounds. In the words of playwright Ntozake Shange, “Where there is a woman, there is magic.” Originally planned for Women’s History Month in March 2020, the annual exhibition was instead be held  in August 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

PRAYERS FOR THE PANDEMIC; PRAYERS FOR PROGRESS VOLUME TWO

I am pleased that my piece, “The Stories Will be Told” is included in the Prayers for the Pandemic; Prayers for Progress (Group Two) Volume Two online catalog. It is sponsored by the Drawing Rooms in Jersey City.


Prayers for the Pandemic; Prayers for Progress is our ongoing public art project happening across the United States. The concept draws inspiration from Tibetan prayer flags made of colorful rectangular cloth that are strung along trails and peaks high in the Himalayas, and used to bless the surrounding area in which they are placed.

COPELOUZOS FAMILY ART MUSEUM
This piece, “The Pattern of the Story” is going to the Copelouzos Family Art Museum in Greece. It will be in good company as part of a 35 x 35 cm painting exhibition.
They shipped this beautiful canvas to me. I am not in the habit of working on canvas. I wrapped it with layers of my patterns painted on Dura-Lar. I use the layers of patterns to both show and hide the emotions and stories that are woven into the fabric of our lives. The story in this piece is about how I felt unseen as a young adult woman.

CONNECTIVE PROJECT



Select submitted works from the public, artists, and Brooklyn notables have been printed and transformed into thousands of pinwheels extending across the Rose Garden, a hidden gem in the Park’s northeast corner that the Alliance plans to restore in the coming years. These moving expressions form a dynamic, engaging and ever-growing display worthy of the Park’s 150th. They were on view July 2017.

My image was chosen as a group of 10 finalist. It was featured in the installation, and prints of it were on sale in the Brooklyn Museum's gift shop.

TOYING WITH ART

TOYING WITH ART
The Morris Museum
6 Normandy Heights Road, Morristown, NJ
December 6, 2012 to March 17, 2013
Toying with Art explores the icons of childhood as artistic media, resulting in a nostalgic and inventive display of art.

I will be exhibiting three of my wire tapestry pieces built with stained pipe cleaners and a shredded fabric diary. My work reflects upon what the color pink means to girls growing up in this culture; both the beauty and oppressiveness the color can signify.
