As part of our ongoing participation in New York Textile Month, please join us as we host textile artist Capucine Bourcart for a kickoff to her 2 week exhibition in store.
Capucine's works at Smokey Vale will include; The Garden and the Bugs, The Deep Sea Comedy Show and Skin to Skin.
They represent three distinct yet inter-connected bodies of work that reflect a profound fascination with exploration, transformation, and the connection between the visible and the invisible realms of existence.
Come and enjoy a night of art, and wine from our friends next door at Vanderbilt Ave Wine Merchants (www.vwm.wine). There will be other refreshments available for non-alcoholic drinkers as well.

Work by Capucine Bourcart
Bourcart has been living in the United States since 2006, after growing up in Alsace, France. She identifies as French with Vietnamese heritage.
In her current multidisciplinary work with textiles, Bourcart uses unconventional materials such as cat fur, lint, and soil and elevates them into 2D and 3D objects, installations, and performances. She converts these materials through techniques such as knitting, felting, or embroidery.
Bourcart’s work has been exhibited internationally in numerous galleries and art venues including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, California, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, France, and Switzerland.
