TWAC presents ‘ENTWINED’ Exhibition by Artist-Educators Bob Mosier and Karen Fearon
The Woodlands Arts Council (TWAC) presents “Entwined,” its first exhibition to feature a married couple. Bob Mosier and Karen Fearon, partners for 32 years and former educators at The John Cooper School, now devote their time to individual artistic practices rooted in a shared creative dialogue.
Bob’s foundation in sculpture informs his intricate thread paintings, composed through both machine and hand stitching and often incorporating miles of thread. What begins as two-dimensional drawings evolves into complex geometric compositions that blur perception and expand into increasingly sculptural, three-dimensional forms.
Karen’s practice spans expressive drawings and paintings, driven by intuitive, spontaneous mark-making, as well as illustrative works and dimensional assemblages. Her process channels subconscious energy, giving each piece a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.
“Entwined presents a dynamic conversation between two artists whose individual practices evolved into a shared creative language,” shares curator Annette Palmer. “Their work explores light, form, and value; the yin and yang of the creative process.”
Both artists incorporate found, discarded, and reclaimed materials, imbuing their sculptural and assemblage works with new life and meaning. Beyond the visual arts, Mosier and Fearon are accomplished dulcimer musicians, extending their creative dialogue into sound.
Entwined invites the community to visit its gallery and immerse into a rich dialogue of texture, transformation, and artistic partnership. Through exhibitions like this, TWAC continues its mission of fostering meaningful connections through the arts.
About the Artists
With a background in sculpture, Bob Mosier has always been drawn to the way light falls across an object, the subtle gradation of value that reveals the form of flat planes and creates the image of three-dimensional form. His early thread paintings replicated the visual illusions found in his sketchbooks, remaining primarily two-dimensional. More recent works use sewing machines to create flat fields of thread color, from which he hand-sews into three-dimensional constructions that extend up to nine inches from the wall. No matter the material, sculpture has remained the inevitable outcome. Mosier really enjoys the interrelationship, the yin and yang, the dichotomy between hard and soft that fabric sculpture allows.
Karen Fearon’s work reflects an unraveling of the unanswered questions within. Through direct, intuitive mark-making, images emerge and often vanish in an ongoing search for connection and meaning. Layer by layer, a “shedding of skins” breaks down to its core, moving beyond conscious thought into a space of sensing and feeling. Working in an “unknowing” manner, she begins with only a loose concept, allowing intuition to take over, perceiving and symbolizing through sensing and feeling until the searching resonates and is alive again within her.
The exhibition is free and open to the public.
