Watertown gallery Storefront Art Projects will display Wordle paintings by Jeanne Williamson Ostroff from Jan. 4-25. There will be a reception on Saturday, Jan. 4, from 1-4 p.m.
Storefront Art Projects provided the following details:
Jeanne Williamson Ostroff works with patterns and boundaries inspired by construction fences, charts of her daily walks, and Wordle puzzles from the
New York Times. She uses a combination of printing; painting; collage; and stitching; on vintage tablecloths and other fabric, in mixed-media pieces that range in size from 6 inches to 35 feet.
Tracy Bennett, the New York Times Wordle Editor (who, weather permitting will be at the opening) says “I am fascinated by these mixed media interpretations of Wordle answers. We humans create meaning and find beauty in seemingly random sequences that form intriguing patterns. Artists connect images, gestures, colors, and by doing so connect to others, communicating a truth. I am thrilled that there’s an artist like Jeanne Williamson Ostroff making Wordles (and more!) into such compelling art.”
Gallery Hours: Thursdays and Saturdays 1-4 p.m.
Storefront Art Projects is located at 83 Spring St. in Watertown. Find out more at www.storefrontartprojects.com
