Imperishable: Deconstructing Ukrainian Embroidery Patterns

Details

Enjoy this exhibition of paintings and media art by artist Rob Gill.

As a second generation Ukrainian on his mother’s side, and having been raised with the language, the cultural traditions, and the rich craftwork, he is particularly fascinated by ancient Ukrainian geometric embroidery patterns and the meanings they contain.

In this exhibition, Rob Gill seeks to engage with that ancient, sacred art, uncover some of its spiritual content, and explore his Ukrainian heritage by applying various of his own processes to the patterns via painting, print, computer animation, software design, and audio. Many of his animations are joined by music drawn from the Ukrainian Art Song Project which runs through software to produce the accompanying audio.
