Experiments in Natural Color: Talk & Reception
Experiments in Natural Color: Textile Dyeing with Plants and Iron Oxides—on view at the Barns of Rose Hill from April 17 through May 30—showcases the work of Wendell Combest, a retired pharmacology professor whose practice explores the intersection of art and science.
Using techniques such as natural plant dyes, indigo vats, and cyanotype processes, his work combines scientific curiosity with striking visual expression, transforming fibers into richly patterned, color-filled compositions.
On April 19, join us for an Artist Reception with Wendell, where you can meet the artist, learn about his creative process, and enjoy complimentary refreshments. The reception is free, but registration is encouraged. Register here, or by calling (540) 955-2004.
