The Saginaw Art Museum is hosting artist Jada Bowden and Nancy J. Rodwan for the exhibition “Bright Moments and Shifting Shadows."

The title of the exhibit reflects on the how the passing of a day is marked by bright moments and shifting shadows. The contrasts provide reference points that can be used to improve our understanding of the environment and help determine time, shape, distance, and location of objects within it. The works in this show are inspired by and play with this movement. Each piece is a thread that provides greater insight into the artist and theme.

Jada Bowden of Oak Park, MI, brings a bold and experimental edge to the world of fiber arts. Her innovative use of unconventional materials and techniques challenges traditional textile artistry. Bowden’s pieces showcase a fusion of vibrant colors and nontraditional materials, pushing the boundaries of fiber art. Her work not only sparks visual interest but also encourages viewers to question preconceived ideas about the possibilities within the medium.

Nancy J. Rodwan of Detroit, MI, known for transforming everyday objects into new and unexpected forms, uses a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques to create ethereal fiber art. Her work reflects a deep connection to nature, incorporating organic forms and a rich palette of colors. Rodwan’s ability to evoke emotion through texture and pattern sets her apart in the realm of abstract fiber art.
