Coming Soon:
FIERCE PLANETS
A SAQA and john hopkins wavelengths exhibition
June 12 - August 15
Reception June 12, 4-6 pm
From space, Earth looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible on its surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers and science fiction-worthy features. A diverse group of 42 artists from 11 countries present their views of the universe in this fascinating collection of contemporary quilt and textile art.
Fierce Planets is a collaboration between Studio Art Quilts Associates and the Johns Hopkins Wavelengths™ research communication program. Artists drew their inspiration from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Dr. Sabine Stanley's work in planetary science and her new book, What's Hidden Inside Planets?
