China Marks

A Redefined Existence

J. Cacciola Gallery

Pictured above is Monica Welsh and China Marks. Her amazing “Tapestries of assembled pieces of fabric, sewing and story telling invite the viewer into a dimensional world that is viewable over and over. It was great to get the artist’ perspective on her creative process. Essentially she lets the fabric and visuals speak to her. She is just a vessel that helps navigate the pieces into existence. She listens carefully to what each piece says and creates text based art to add another layer of visual communication. Very unique and engaging. Check it out.

Jakkai Siributr

“Transient Shelter”

Pictured above is Jakkai Siributr and Monica Welsh. There are 2 sections of his work. One set is earlier work that is more abstract and intricate set off separately from the main show of new work. Current pieces consist of hand stitched uniforms representative of Thailand and photographs of the artist wearing the same uniforms. Culturally these are common style of portraits from Thailand but there is an incongruity between the pacifism of Buddhist teachings and the military outfits that occupy the same space culturally. A beautiful and elegant show. Check it out.
