Con Confection September 7, 2007

'Con Confection,' features three contemporary artists who have drawn from the traditional art of embroidery to create innovative results. Confection, usually defined as an elaborate creation or a sweet combination of materials, is the key to this grouping of artists who use embellishment and decoration in their work. Mixing minimalist values with post-colonial visualizations, the artists of 'Con Confection' thread the memories of tradition with fresh materials and layered meanings.
