Working with the premise that everyone in the world understands the words and concepts of peace, cooperation and learning, we are featuring work by a number of artists who fully embrace these ideas. Woven shuen paper works by Amy Loewan and serpentine sculpture from cooperatives in Cape Dorset (Baffin Island) and Tengenenge, Zimbabwe.
The focus of Amy Loewan’s work is on the promotion of peace and understanding. Her universal message of peace and her aesthetic sensibility imbue her large installation works and smaller rice paper weave, mixed media works with a quiet purpose. They are highly crafted presentations of a social and spiritual belief. She submits that peace, in ourselves and with others, can be attained through acts of consciousness initiated by art.
