"Things With Wings" got a great review in yesterday’s Portsmouth Herald. Here is the excerpt about my work:
But by far the most exciting pieces come from a
newcomer, Abby Glassenberg. These "soft sculptures" drew the hand of my
4-year-old companion immediately toward them. It’s hard not to touch
these birds, lovingly crafted from fabric and uncannily expressive.
They could turn their head at any second and maybe nibble your finger.
The
delightful interplay of collected objects in these pieces, of thread
and familiar bits of fabric collaged go beyond cute. These have
character sewn into them, a careful touch that comes with big skills at
the sewing machine, a good collection of trusty fabric, and an
understanding of fabric panels coming together to create a convincing
three dimensional piece. Doll construction, at its roots, is sculpture.
These are fine art.
How nice is that! Read the whole article here.
If you click on the picture of Nest of Thread VII (which sold, yeah!) on the Three Graces Gallery website you can view photos of each piece on exhibit and see what has sold and what is still available.
What a lovely write-up! It’s true, they appear as if they could move at any second. Congrats!
Well done Abby!
You are truly going from strength to strength……I hope it continues!
What fabulous press!
Lucky girl….
