Portals of Perception by Muffy Clark Gill

Opening Reception: June 6, 5-7 pm, On Display: June 6-28

This exhibition is a celebration of artistic exploration born from a deep love of travel and an enduring curiosity about culture. Spanning continents and oceans, the artist’s journeys have led to immersive experiences in places as varied as Myanmar, Indonesia, Cuba, Alaska, Singapore, Korea, the Caribbean, and Japan.

Each destination became a vibrant source of inspiration, texture, and storytelling. A 17-day stay in Japan, where the artist studied the traditional techniques of indigo dyeing, shibori resist, and katazome stenciling. These hands-on experiences with ancient textile methods now infuse the work with a sense of place and process, linking modern creation with time-honored craft.

This body of work serves as a visual archive shaped by encounters with Moroccan doorways. Each piece invites the viewer to travel through portals of color, pattern, and form, capturing the essence of Morocco as a living conversation between memory and material.
