the conjure movement

The conjure movement is about alchemy, mysticism, and the elements of art (life) that we don't have ultimate control over. Rumi once wrote, "our eyes are so small, yet they see enormous things." His words describe the work highlighted in this zine. The embroideries presented are tiny, yet within each one the viewer sees their own reality, a unique and special world represented before them. Right now is a time where the individual artistic process is more valued than it has been in the past. We, essentially, are all voyeurs. We have a desire to know the inter-workings of things, whether they be relationships or art making.
