“Three In Fiber: Nature and Mind”
Carla Duncan, Janet Moore, Deann Rubin
“Three in Fiber: Nature and Mind” is an exhibition of new work by Carla Duncan, Janet Moore, and Deann Rubin at the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center of Washington University, 520 S. Euclid, St. Louis. Janet and Deann have exhibited their work in handwoven tapestry nationally and internationally and been featured in publications such as Tapestry Topics, ArteFacto, Southwest Art and SF Magazine. Carla Duncan in the director of the Gretchen Brigham Gallery in St. Louis, curating several exhibitions per year.
Deann Rubin’s tapestries deal with social and political issues. Her small pieces pack a punch beyond their size, holding the viewer’s attention with her signature image of the gaze from a beautiful, but charged, eye. She takes this image in many directions, from her exploration of the ringmaster motif who oversees the play, to the one who questions the actions taken, the audience.
Carla Duncan explores felting and painting on tall tube shapes and half-round domes. She says about her work, “I love to create. As a working artist, I am currently working in two different mediums: fabric collage and painting. For the last ten years, I have used a cardboard mailing tube to display my tall works of art as I’m the tube lady!” The long, rounded shapes offer a softness which shows a sculptural quality in addition to the textural felted surfaces.
Janet Moore weaves tapestries that reflect her love of the natural world and the process of weaving tapestry. The work invites the viewer to explore the details of weaving as well as bring their own sense of meaning. “My passion for weaving tapestry has led me down many rewarding paths and given me the capacity to share what is precious to me in my life: nature, animals, dear loved ones, music and its themes.” Janet has created public art pieces, works for private homes, and shown in museums, galleries and non-profit community spaces. In 2023, Janet was awarded an artist support grant from the Regional Arts Commission of Saint Louis.
The Artists invite you to attend a reception for their exhibition on November 15, Friday, from 4-6 PM at the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center of Washington University, 520 S. Euclid Ave., St. Louis, MO. Come to the second floor Hearth Room Gathering Space and Gallery. The exhibition will be on display until mid-March, 2025.

Carmon Colangelo
CARMON COLANGELO is a pioneering printmaker whose work combines surrealism and abstraction with the exploration of art history, science, and technology. An enduring feature of Colangelo’s work is the unraveling of free-floating symbols and texts in an aggressive exploitation of various print media. He challenges conventional readings, producing disorienting spatial topologies and striking visual poetics.
Carmon Colangelo (b. Toronto, Canada) lives and works in St. Louis, MO. He is the Ralph J. Nagel dean of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and the E. Desmond Lee Professor for Collaboration in the Arts, Washington University in St. Louis. In this role, he oversees the School’s four academic units — the College of Art, College of Architecture, Graduate School of Art, and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design — as well as the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. Colangelo’s work has been featured in 30 solo shows and more than 100 group exhibitions nationally and internationally. His work has been collected by many of the nation’s leading museums, including the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, and the Saint Louis Art Museum. He earned a B.F.A. in printmaking and painting from the University of Windsor in Ontario (1981) and a M.F.A. in printmaking from Louisiana State University (1983).

Deanne Row
My sculptures reflect themes of memory, history, and personal experiences – real or imagined. I search for evidence of how we are shaped by our thoughts and experiences and reshaped by our reaction to them. Through the progression of layered paper and found objects, I explore our physical growth, while the carving, burning and sanding of the surface evokes our emotional journey, scouring of energy and the passage of time. I am sifting through internal narratives looking for truth and understanding.
