Here is a recap of the rest of day 1 – Surface Design Association Conference tour day. See the rest of the day here. Conference attendees were bused around the city to a number of galleries to view SDA sponsored exhibitions. What a day.

Gallery Nord – a great San Antonio gallery space, featured several artist exhibits:

Nathalie Miebach, “Weathered Waters” – a large-scale wall piece that looks at the ecological interactions between weather systems and marine environments in the Gulf of Main.

Eun-Kyung Suh – “Embedded Memory”

Kathryn Clark – “Foreclosure Quilts”

Maria Shell – “Color Grids”

  1. Goodness, I love this! My friend Lame Adventures (who was also a witness in my recent wedding) suggested I come visit. And, goodness, I can see why. My “spouse” Sara and I have recently moved to Cuenca, Ecuador. I am a writer/artist.
