Each 200 pound, five-and-a-half-foot-tall fiberglass blade serves as a blank canvas for eight visual artists of various mediums including painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramic, and cut paper. Each piece is unique but Drllevich’s curation asks each artist to respond to the theme of “The Tipping Point,” expanding the obvious environmental angle of this body of work into something much more personal. Participating artist, Lauren Iida states, “This new found object sculpture of mine speaks about a ‘tipping point’ in my life, the arrival of my first child and how that has changed my perspective on environmental issues.” This is just the first iteration of “Blades of Change,” an ongoing passion project of Drllevich’s who still has more than 200 untouched blades waiting in the wings. Participating artists: Jill Drllevich, Lauren Iida, Carolyn Autenrieth, Peter Reiquam, Esther Reiquam, Craig Breitbach, Joy Hagen, and Colleen Monette. ############ --
