Anchors in Time: Dominic Di Mare

Dominic Di Mare, one of the Bay Area’s foremost artists in the contemporary craft movement presents selected works completed over the past five decades. Di Mare (1932–) received acclaim for pioneering dimensional weaving in the 1960s, cast paper in the 1970s, and mixed-media sculpture from the 1970s through the 1990s. Among his most alluring sculptures are carved hawthorn branches with delicate feathers, beads, paper, and horsehair. These are simple materials. In Di Mare’s hands, they were transformed into intensely poetic works.
