NEXT PRE-MEETING
February 18, 2026 – 6pm
Judith Content & Jayne Bentley Gaskins
Judith Content is a Palo Alto, California based artist. Her current work is focused on monoprint and Arashi and Itajime dyeing on silk. Her textural surfaces are machine quilted, hand-stitched and hand-beaded. She is especially drawn to lustrous stitched surfaces she achieves by combining multiple strands of ultra-thin, variegated, machine embroidery thread. Judith’s wall pieces, as well her ephemeral land-art installations are drawn from nature. She is inspired by the interplay of light and shadow on cliffs, canyons and coastlines. Her recent sculptural compositions are explorations of current events, planetary phenomena, climate issues and extreme weather events. These works deal with topical issues through visual impact, surface texture as well as humor and paradox.
Working from her Virginia home just outside Washington DC, Gaskins created Heartbeat of the City, a multi-sensual solo exhibit that includes both sights and sounds of ordinary life in large metropolitan cities. She uses hard edges and intense colors for impact, and several works expand beyond the bounds of the traditional rectangle to give the feeling of a fleeting moment of life in a fast-paced world. Heartbeat of the City opens March 3rd at the Ceres Gallery along with two additional fiber art solo exhibitors, Micaela Vivero and Hagar Shur Fletcher, each of whom take uniquely different approaches to the media.
