Charlotte Edey at Anat Ebgi

Anat Ebgi is pleased to announce Charlotte Edey All Words Are Written In Water on view at 6150 Wilshire Blvd from April 27 through June 15. This is Edey’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and presents bead-embellished tapestries, pastel drawings, and sculpture. A public reception will take place on Saturday, April 27 from 6 – 8 PM.

The language of drawing is translated throughout Charlotte Edey’s tactile, mixed media practice. Mark making and gesture are explored through extensive hand-embroidery and beading on tapestry. Comparable to hatching and stippling, these processes forge direct relationships between line, thread, and surface. Her jacquard weavings are hand embellished with thousands of glass seed beads and freshwater pearls. This latest body of work weaves together organic materials including crystal, moonstone, opalite, obsidian, onyx, lava, and topaz, giving a luminescent quality to the surface of her ethereal compositions.
