MAY EXHIBITS

GEOMYTHOLOGY

In Seven Formations

By Suzanne Bybee & Lisa DeFrance of Fern & Reed

April 26-May 3 at Books & Supply, 252 East 100 South, Salt Lake City

Using mud dye and natural pigments on vintage and hand-dyed textiles, we explore the intersection of earth materials and mythic narratives—where geology meets story. Fern & Reed invite you to a week of performances and conversation in a curated environment.

Daily formations Monday through Friday 6:00-7:00 pm and Saturday at 4:00-5:00 pm. On Sunday, May 3, we gather in the final formation for celebration and conversation with all of the artists, 4:00-7:00pm.

Fern & Reed is an art and design collaboration between long-time friends, Suzanne Bybee and Lisa DeFrance. They met in the music soaked Seattle of the 90’s where Suzanne was painting and working in galleries and Lisa was sewing, costuming, and creating performance art. Our design process focuses on holding space for unanticipated convergences that our individual lives naturally bring to the table.
