This exhibition features Chicago artist Michelle Sales’ innovative wall pieces and sculptural objects made from hand-dyed and stitched synthetic fabric. The artist recycles spun-bonded materials used in the construction and garment industries, sometimes combining the fabric with small found objects, such as stones or beads.
The show will include textured wall pieces from the artist’s “Imprint” series that are built up horizontally with layers of hand-dyed materials, denoting erosion and the passage of time. Also on view will be sculptures referencing articles of clothing and footwear that are made from natural and synthetic materials combined with found objects, suggesting the accumulation and preservation of memories.
Michelle Sales received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has had work shown in numerous exhibitions including SOFA Chicago. The exhibition at Vale Craft Gallery is part of Chicago Artists Month, the thirteenth annual celebration of Chicago’s vibrant visual art community organized by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs.
