On this second Monday of SUññATA, a solo exhibition in sustainable textile and sound by EiY (Emily Peters), we gather in the name of Earth. Surrounded by field recording soundscapes from South Florida, Southern California and Northern Thailand, first we will open our energy channels with pranayama and loosen our physical bodies with free movement inspired by Gaga Metodika. Then, we will paint with one of the oldest methods of dyeing that can be found in different forms all throughout the world’s history: combining mineral pigments with a glutenous substance and applying it to fabric. Release yourself to your inner knowing and Investigate mark-making with a variety of tools, found objects, brushes or even your hands using a prepared solution of Earth pigments and soy. Bring your own fabrics or objects to upcycle, or use the artist’s fabrics, and be sure to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting creative in. To close, we’ll share our experiences and insights with each other.
show description
For the months of July & August, EiY (Emily) will be exhibiting a solo show inside the CollaboARTive Gallery in the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami’s downtown Bayshore area. Join us every Monday in the month of July for a sound immersion, somatic exploration and/or meditation within the zero-waste artwork that explores non-duality, the humanity of our interconnectedness, and our placement in this universe.
In SUññATA, EiY (Emily Peters) presents a body of participatory installation works spanning the mediums of sustainable textile, sound, film and performance that engage in subconscious mind repatterning, nervous system re-regulation and self-inquiry. Thanks to CollaboARTive’s Artist Residency, Noche de Arte, EiY’s Earth-centered and zero-waste works can be viewed at Gallery 100 in the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. Every Monday in July, surrounded by EiY's zero-waste, earth pigment dyed works, we will journey together through experiences that explore the elements - Air, Earth and Water - invite deep rest, through the tools of sound immersion and deep listening, free movement, mark-making with mineral pigments, and sub-tropical herbalism. Drop in with the artist in a cocoon of earth-dyed, hand-formed textile art and earth-magic inspired sounds.
