Chandra Cerrito Contemporary is pleased to present the group exhibition "Not Your Run of the Mill" (Oct.7 -Nov. 17, 2016), including painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation art by six artists whose work references textiles in unexpected ways. Featured artists include Leeza Doreian, Jacqueline Sherlock Norheim, Sandra Ono, Dimitra Skandali, Ruth Tabancay, and Claudia Tennyson.
The phrase run of the mill originates from early American factories (such as a textile mill producing fabric) and referred to work that had yet to be graded and therefore was not exceptionally good or bad. Now however, the phrase refers to something that is commonplace or that which ordinarily occurs.
Contrary to the commonplace or conventional uses of textile, the exhibition highlights imaginative concepts that challenge the viewer’s perception of what they see in the work as it relates to textiles. Paintings and sculpture resemble fabric and fabric appears as paintings. One wall piece is embroidered with material uncharacteristic of the handicraft, while familiar fiber is stitched onto unexpected material in another piece.
