STEWART FRANCIS EASTON
Breaking the traditional boundaries of craft, Stewart Francis Easton’s work fuses together hand embroidery, sonic art and music.
Drawing upon and using folk song, story and social history as a starting point Easton works with the space and weight of story to create large scale wall-based pieces which record and commemorate the passage of time within a single panel. Easton emphasizes the need to create using the hand, as it is in this process that a connection is made with the story - allowing a slowing down and immersion in the moment.
Most recently Easton has been exploring the connection between the process of hand embroidery / expansion of awareness / and abstract forms into a body of hand stitched works documenting a daily practice of stitching meditation.
Easton has exhibited his work in solo and group shows both in the UK and USA, including the Tate Modern in London. His work is in private collections both nationally and Internationally.
Stewart Francis Easton lives and works in London, UK.

MEGAN BERNER
Solo Exhibition - Desert Ephemeral
RECEPTION + ARTIST TALK March 15th 5-7pm
The exhibit features new work on fabric, photographs, and sculptural installation and video. This work is a continuation of her exploration into the ways we interact with our environment—how we form relationships with it and how those connections influence our interpretation of the world around us—what marks we leave behind, the experiences—intangible and manifest, and the action of moving through or being in a place.
Desert Ephemeral, in particular, focuses on ideas of time and change–change that takes place over seasons, the cycle of a day, or even eons.
Exhibition Dates
February 13 - March 16
Location
Truckee Meadows Community College
Main Gallery
First Floor, Red Mountain Building
7000 Dandini Boulevard, Reno, NV, 89512
