The Mount St. Francis Gallery is delighted to invite you to a rare and inspiring event, an Artist Talk by the phenomenal Penny Sisto on Wednesday, November 29th, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. In this special gathering, Penny will journey us through her vivid visions manifested into her most recent works.<\/p>\n

Penny’s artistry transcends the boundaries of conventional expression. Her artistic perception is as unique as her life story, filled with vivid imagery that dances across her mind like a rhythmic ballet of colors, shapes, and patterns. She sees her thoughts in pictures, transforming them into remarkable fabric art that tells stories of her life, experiences, and emotions.<\/p>\n

For this exhibition at Mount St. Francis Gallery, Penny poured her heart onto the canvas of fabric, unmasking her deepest feelings and sentiments without hidden messages or cryptic symbols. Her works from this past year, thus, represent a visual diary that encapsulates the essence of her artistic freedom.<\/p>\n

During the talk, Penny will share her vision behind the piece that she believes encapsulates her artistic journey the most – ‘Christ with Hawk and Dragonflies’. This artwork, she believes, represents a blend of gentleness and courage, reflecting her personal journey of navigating life, especially in recent years, with grace and resilience.<\/p>\n

Please join us in this unique opportunity to delve deeper into Penny Sisto’s visionary world, gaining insights into her creative process, the inspiration behind her remarkable pieces, and her unfiltered perspectives on life and art. Don’t miss the chance to explore her newest stunning works and experience the potent blend of imagination and craft.<\/p>\n

Vision Quest Exhibit Info<\/h4>\n

Vision Quest<\/h4>\n

For as long as I’ve been alive I have always had visions. It\u2019s hard to write that down, because even as I write it I can feel my readers turning away! What I really mean is that my \u2018thoughts\u2019 are all in pictures\u2014 images and colors, shapes and patterns that move across my mind in a continuous dance. When I was invited back to the Mount St. Francis Gallery, I knew that here I could safely tell my own stories, weave my own inner visions down onto the fabrics.

There was little thought put into what I would portray\u2026rather, it was a freedom to simply open the heart and let the fabrics flow. There are no surprises here, no hidden messages\u2014 rather it is a virtual diary of how\u00a0 I \u2018felt\u2019 during this past year of artistic freedom.

If I am asked to choose a piece to sum it up, I would say it\u2019s \u2018Christ with Hawk and Dragonflies\u2019. I chose this piece because to me it\u2019s a perfect blend of gentleness and courage. It sums up the way I try to walk through Life as my own body wends its way through its last few years and looks toward the Heavens.<\/p>\n

Penny Sisto<\/span><\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Penny Sisto ist eine international anerkannte K\u00fcnstlerin, die in den USA und im Ausland ausgestellt hat. Zu ihren internationalen Pr\u00e4sentationen geh\u00f6ren die Ausstellung einer Sammlung von Holocaust-Quilts im Torhaus von Auschwitz und eine Auswahl ihrer Sklaverei-Quilts, die 2008 im Royal Armories Museum in Leeds, England, ausgestellt wurden. Sie hat f\u00fcr ihre Kunstwerke zahlreiche Preise und Auszeichnungen erhalten und war Gegenstand zweier \u00f6ffentlich-rechtlicher Fernsehsendungen. Als Verfechterin sozialer Gerechtigkeit und des Friedens ist sie bekannt f\u00fcr die schwierigen Themen wie AIDS, Armut und Rassismus, die sie in ihren Werken thematisiert.<\/p>\n

Sisto wurde auf den Orkneyinseln vor der Nordspitze Schottlands geboren und lernte im Alter von drei Jahren das N\u00e4hen. Als Erwachsene arbeitete sie f\u00fcr das britische Entwicklungsministerium und nutzte ihre F\u00e4higkeiten als Hebamme, um in Gesundheitskliniken f\u00fcr die Massai, LuBukusu und Kikuyu in Ostafrika zu helfen. Ihre Zeit in Afrika inspirierte sie dazu, die Quilt-, Stick- und Applikationstechniken, die sie von ihrer Gro\u00dfmutter gelernt hatte, mit den Perlen- und Collagetechniken ihrer afrikanischen Freunde zu kombinieren. Dies f\u00fchrte zu dem unverwechselbaren Stil, der in ihren Arbeiten bis heute sichtbar ist.<\/p>\n

Penny Sisto erhielt zahlreiche Auftr\u00e4ge f\u00fcr Quilts, darunter vier Arbeiten f\u00fcr die Abtei Gethsemane, wo jedes Jahr zu Ostern und bei Trauerfeiern ein 28\u00d79 Fu\u00df gro\u00dfer Quilt mit dem Titel \u201eAuferstandener Christus\u201c h\u00e4ngt. Weitere Sammlungen mit Werken von Sisto sind: Sisters of Charity, Sisters of Loretto, Thomas Merton International Studies Center, Spalding University, Kennedy Family und das Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts. Zu den Stipendien, die Penny Sisto erhielt, geh\u00f6ren: Kentucky Foundation for Women, Indiana Arts Commission, Master Fellowship und New Directions and Southern Arts. 1993 wurde sie f\u00fcr ihre Arbeit zur F\u00f6rderung von Frieden und Gerechtigkeit mit dem Baha'i Peace Award for Arts Promoting World Peace ausgezeichnet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
