Solo Exhibit by Victoria van der Laan Opens at Springs Street Sept. 17

SARATOGA SPRINGS —Victoria van der Laan shares a collection of works called “Remembered Geometries,” at Spring Street Gallery Sept. 17 – Nov. 2 

An opening reception will be held 6-8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17.

Remembered Geometries presents works based on traditional housetop quilt patterns. The technical use of fabrics and thread, color, line, and texture contributes to the overall complexity and magnetism of the exhibit. Van der Laan shares her craft with brilliant, sophisticated simplicity.

In addition to the traditional sales, van der Laan presents “Pay What You Wish.” “These works are 8” x 8” stretched gallery wrapped textile sketches offered at whatever price feels good to the buyer, no floor, no ceiling. The intention of this project is to promote equitable access to art and to cultivate a spirit of generosity,” said Van der Laan, in a statement. 

A portion of the proceeds sold through Spring Street Gallery will benefit Youth FX. Based in Albany, Youth FX primary mission is to work with diverse groups of youth from communities that have been historically under-served and in need of opportunities to learn filmmaking and acquire skills in emerging media technologies. 

Remembered Geometries is open to the public Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 am – 1 pm and by appointment on weekends. Additional hours will be announced at: springstreetgallerysaratoga.org.
