More of her work will be on view at the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center from March 5 to May 4. The opening reception for Jeannette DeNicolis Meyer's exhibit, If This, Then That,  is scheduled for March 10, 2013. Meyer's career has been fed by two creative streams: her studio work and her teaching, and this retrospective exhibit explores the If This, Then That decision-making process that structures her studio and classroom lives. Concept to image, image to design decisions, design decisions to choices of materials and material choices to construction decisions, each IF leads eventually to a THAT. This seemingly linear process branches into webs of possibilities as each If yields multiple choices of That; each That births a number of brand new Ifs. By inviting the viewer to share her design process --with sketches of works in progress, the dyed fabric essential to the work she makes, and finally, finished quilts from a number of her ongoing series—this exhibit aims to create both a classroom and an art gallery.
