Jean Alexander Frater, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In <em>Hour by Hour<\/em>, located in the Showcase Gallery, artists Jean Gumpper, Amy Putansu, Scott Upton and Jim Whalen reflect on the devotion to process in time-based artistic practices. Gumpper, whose reduction woodcut prints are a focal point of the exhibition, describes her creative process as a combination of \u201ccalculated planning and flinging oneself into the unknown.\u201d She explains that her prints evolve through layers of color and texture, much like the passage of time itself. \u201cI have a detailed plan with a strong idea in my head about how the final image will look,\u201d she says. \u201cBut the order always changes because the way the color looks when it is printed on top of other colors is always different than I expect.\u201d Her work captures the layers of nature, each print building upon the last, much like the natural world itself, where change is both constant and unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p>Putansu\u2019s woven pieces in the exhibition address themes of aging and resilience, engaging viewers through \u201cthe intricate detail of subtle color shifts and textural contrasts,\u201d with the hope \u201cthat they may be carried away momentarily and can find peace in beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_79869\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79869\" class=\"wp-image-79869\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-810x810.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blue-Spiral-Orlowski-Ann_The-Suburbs-1-copy-1140x1140.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-79869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Suburbs. Ann Orlowski, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Patti Quinn Hill\u2019s solo exhibition, <em>A New Leaf,<\/em> on display in the Small Format Gallery, brings a contemporary twist to traditional basketry. Hill, known for her meticulous paper weaving, combines archival watercolor paper, metallic thread and surface design techniques to create intricate, rhythmic forms. She hopes that viewers will appreciate the craftsmanship of her work and understand the time and care that goes into creating each piece. \u201cBasketmaking is a structural building process that takes a lot of time to weave over and under row by row following a particular weave pattern,\u201d Hill explains. \u201cI would like for [viewers] to look at all the details that are used in creating it and realize that it takes a good long time to get one completed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Collection<\/em> exhibition in the Lower Level Gallery showcases artists like Clay Burnette and Vicki Essig, who engage deeply with material accumulation. Burnette makes coiled baskets from dyed pine needles, a medium he\u2019s been working with for half a century. \u201cI remain engaged in the process of transforming an insignificant natural material, most commonly baled and sold as garden mulch, into objects that are sculptural, inspiring forms,\u201d he says. Essig, who weaves artwork with pieces of \u201cnatural history\u201d that she collects during walks, hopes her work will inspire viewers to find beauty in the overlooked. \u201cMy hope is that for at least a moment, you will be lost in the discovery of the minute,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><em>Blue Spiral 1 is located at 38 Biltmore Avenue, Asheville.
