✦ Trained as a painter, Cayce Zavaglia, St. Louis, Missouri, creates extraordinary hand-embroidered portraits. Her meticulous, labor-intensive work left me in awe and deep admiration for her mastery of the needle. Her paintings are marvelous, too. Zavaglia's work is on show through December 6 in "About-Face" at Lyons Wier Gallery, New York City. See the pdf catalogue.
Recently Zavaglia was featured at My Modern Met. Read an interesting interview with Zavaglia at Trish Burr Embroidery.

Exhibitions Here and There (College/University Gallery/Museum Edition)
✭ Ripin Print Gallery in Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, draws from the private collection of Lee Marks and John C. DePrez Jr. for many of the photographs on view in "Hidden Mother". The exhibition examines in particular the 19th Century practice of using pedestals, braces, and other devices to stabilize the bodies of those sitting during long exposures. Examples of the use of the so-called "hidden mother" while photographing children include tintypes, cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, and other media. The show concludes December 23.
✭ Continuing through December 5 is "Etty Yaniv: Urban Sediments", in the Robert L. Ringel Gallery, part of Purdue University Galleries, West Lafayette, Indiana. The exhibition of abstract "landscapes" includes large reliefs and a three-dimensional floating installation created from torn paper and plastic pieces, scraps of drawings, photo fragments, and other materials. Images of Yaniv's Urban Sediments installations may be viewed at her Website.
