Akron Soul Train, the artist residency program with a gallery space in downtown Akron, opens up two new exhibits this week.
One is its non-juried Second Annual Members Show, showcasing the work of visual artists and poets from around the region.
Within the CapSoul Gallery at that show, it’ll be featuring works by member/emerging artist Gregory Hatch, who works in felting, layering undyed and naturally dyed wool fiber into images “inspired by queer comics, folk horror, weird fiction, cartoons, folk magic, and personal rituals.”
He says, “The process of layering and molding the wool fiber into images mirrors my efforts to ground myself in day-to-day life. My work strives to engage the viewer through story and allows the information to be filtered through iconography from my own life.”
The show will be on view Wednesday June 1 through Saturday July 9. There’ll be an open house/reception on Saturday June 4 @ 11am-7pm. The gallery is open Wednesday-Saturday @11am-4pm.
