ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Alexandra Wahl began quilting when she was nine and sewing has always played a role in her life—her high school job was working in a quilt store, a sewing machine went with her to college, and stray threads of fabric cling to her wherever she goes. Professionally, Alexandra has worked for many years in the collaborative art of theater production, while also pursuing her own artwork and often enjoying the cross-pollination of the two.
“I revel in the simple beauty that can be achieved with nothing more than color and shape, while also looking for new and exciting ways to approach them.”
Eddie Hall is an abstract artist in Berlin, Connecticut creating works using recycled windows which exhibit vibrant colors and geometric patterns which draw inspiration from architectural and design themes. Hall is self taught as an artist, an active member of the Kehler Liddell Gallery and has been featured and won awards in solo and group shows throughout New England, including at the New Britain Museum of American Art, Mattatuck Museum, Hill-Stead Museum, Mystic Museum of Art, Edward Hopper House & Museum, Slater Memorial Museum, Scope Miami, Hygienic Arts, Cambridge Arts Association, Greenwich Arts Society, New Haven Paint & Clay Club, and Ursa Gallery. He is a recipient of the Artist Respond grant from the Connecticut Office of the Arts and his work is in numerous private collections and currently on display at the Connecticut State Capitol Building.
“My work is inspired by the geometry of the world around us, the shapes that define our environment, and transforming something that used to be part of someone’s home into art. Presenting this work with Sasha’s presents us both an opportunity to completely fill the space with both light and color during the winter months.”
