Embroidery is an ancient craft, yet the act of using thread to adorn and transform a surface remains timeless. Throughout history, people have employed thread to convey images and words—whether in the form of monograms, labels, diary or signage. Embroidery can serve as a means of identity, storytelling, or even as an act of resistance. In this workshop, we will explore how this craft and its typographic potential can bring us together to experiment with texture and text.

The Invisible Dog is thrilled to announce it’s 16th season opening with When Lightning Strikes, an exhibition of sixteen new paintings by resident artist Gabe Benzur.
Benzur’s meticulous oil paintings portray colorful, supernatural landscapes devoid of inhabitants, inviting the first-person viewer to be absorbed by another world. Titled after a quote from Seneca about Etruscan religion, each landscape represents a different aspect of their mythology. Gods, sacred places, and the underworld are freely interpreted from their fragmented archaeology and history, separated from the literal, and translated into visual spectacles meant to transport the viewer into a place of superstition and primordial possibility. Here, the imagination gap between what we know and don’t know becomes a rich territory for exploring color and belief.
