Glen Arbor Arts Center hosts De Castro

From staff reports

Brooklyn, New York artist Angelique De Castro’s Glen Arbor Arts Center residency combines ceramics and textiles/needlework into one sculptural form that builds on the world of Philippine mythology. De Castro will show examples of her work and talk about her residency on Thursday, May 28, at 10 am at the GAAC. The presentation is open to the public.

“Combining ceramic and textiles in sculpture is a new practice I started this year, and I want to continue experimenting with embroidery, specifically, as an element of surface design during this residency,” De Castro said. “The embroideries will adorn the surface of the large sculpture, either by being glued on or woven into holes in the finished pieces.”

The GAAC has been hosting visiting artmakers as part of its residency program since the 1990s. For more information about the GAAC’s AIR Program visit GlenArborArt.org/ARTISTS.
