Julie Miles' new show, "MADEofTHIS," will be shown from Sept. 26–Oct. 26 at Pink Dog Gallery, 348 Depot St., with an opening reception from 5–8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 2.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — River Arts District painter Julie Miles paused her art practice to support her family after her husband was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease. This fall, Miles will return to the RAD with a new exhibit, “MADEofTHIS.”
“MADEofTHIS” will be shown from Sept. 26–Oct. 26 at Pink Dog Gallery, 348 Depot St., with an opening reception from 5–8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 2.
According to a Pink Dog press release, “MADEofTHIS is Julie’s reentry into art, a series that began as an homage to her grandparents’ manual labor as farmers and evolved into a celebration of the materials, memory, and identity. Through wool-spinning, plant-dyeing, weaving and pinhole photography, she explores the intersection of craft, place and self. Julie’s wish for this work is that it offers a quiet space to dwell and discover how both the harshness and softness of life coexist, our place in it and how loving it all leads to a life well lived.”
