Description
**Opening Reception: San Francisco City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place, SF, Room 282, 5 - 8 pm.Showcasing Martin Grizzell's ability to envision and establish cultural linkages between the Northern Califronia textile movement of the 1960's, the 1919-1940 Art Deco Movement, originating in Europe, and ancient West African textile design and decorative art traditions. Grizzell's design practice expands the definition of tapestry from a design in thread and needle to a design of thread, needle, and semi-precious jewels. His manipulation of fibers and placement of colors patterns and symbols result in a highly eclectic geometric language. Grizzell's artistry demonstrates broad knowledge of fabric, needlework and textile history, yet his creative door remains open to works of alchemy.
Martin Grizzell is a San Francisco native who has traveled Europe researching textile development in Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
