Number 7 Arts\u2019 newest Members\u2019 Show, The Splendor of It All,<\/em> is on display through Monday, October 30. The Brevard gallery hosts several of these exhibits throughout the year to challenge its members to create new work based on a particular theme. The inspiration for this show is the colorful leaves, distinctive scents and crisp air of autumn.<\/p>\n

What We Are Thinking. Nancy Richards, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI look at The Splendor of It All as an opportunity to express my appreciation and creativity by making extra efforts in my designs and workmanship,\u201d says woodworker Tom Sims. \u201cParticipating in the themed exhibits brings my thinking out of the box as well as supports the cooperative\u2019s goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

For this show, Sims created a plant propagation vase that highlights the beautiful grain of zebrawood and functions as a vessel for plant cuttings. His other work includes boxes, furniture, lamps, clocks and collaborations with other artists\u2019 media such as ceramic tile, glass and metal.<\/p>\n

Fiber artist Brenda Cameron presents Turquoise Lagoon, a landscape depicted in a vividly colored framed wall hanging. In Cameron\u2019s work, her color choices represent the spectrum of human emotions while the textures represent our need for connection, touch and warmth.<\/p>\n

Combined, she feels these elements allow her to express joy and gratitude. Cameron also crafts wearable pieces in the form of hand-woven and dyed wraps and silk scarves.<\/p>\n

Painter and mixed media artist Nancy Richards created the acrylic and mixed media work When the Stars Begin to Fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe title is taken from an African American spiritual titled My Lord, What a Morning, and it refers to an awesome, apocalyptic time when everything is in such transition that the stars are falling from the sky,\u201d says Richards. \u201cFor me, this painting represents a profound hope for change, a yearning for an end to racism and oppression and a deep desire for radical transformation. That is the splendor that I long for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Richards\u2019 work varies from whimsical to serene and simple to complex, it is always meant to convey her wonder and sense of joy at both humanity and the natural world around her. She often uses alcohol inks as well as acrylics, watercolors, gouache, pastels and oils, selecting the materials that best convey the abstract or representational subject that she is depicting.<\/p>\n
