Lois Goglia says this solo exhibition of collages, prints, tapestries, and Nesola silk scarves invites each viewer to draw his or her personal line between Art and Fashion. She uses the same materials in different forms to promote this questioning. The Nesola Scarves, she says, were "designed for powerful women," from her prints.
Her background includes both art and singing. She studied art and received a Master's degree at Wesleyan University, sang with the New Haven Chorale, and wrote art reviews of exhibits for New England Magazine.
Lois says that during her studies at Wesleyan, she learned "to create art that reflected the times I am living in. The X-rays from my husband’s medical practice eventually provided me with the radiographs to start my exploration of the relationship between Art, Science, and Medicine. I have been using X-rays radiographs to create artwork about current social and political issues." She adds that some of the scarf designs are taken from medical X-rays of skulls.
