The American Tapestry Project: Recent Work by Jerome Regnier
By Janet Austin
– TT p.21-22 |
|
|
|
Jerome Regnier’s recent work was exhibited at the Nacul Gallery in Amherst, Massachudetts, from January 9 – February 25, 2005. [...] He began working on his “American Tapestry Project” in 1993. In order to appreciate the significance of each subject, Regnier first gathers historical background information. Each tapestry design is based on careful research, using primary sources such as paintings, drawings and prints from the relevant period and place. – TT p.21

The Nacul Gallery, in an architectural office building, was spacious enough to do justice to some of Regnier's very wide tapestries. The juxtaposition of Rivers (20" x 180") and California Trail (23" x 276"), one above the other, emphasized the narrative quality of these two pieces. The latter was hung around an inward bend in the wall, which gave it an interesting 3 dimensional effect. Another large tapestry, California Missions, shows five different images in a tapestry that is 22" x 100," and filled the entire wall behind a stage area in the gallery. – TT p.22
