Lora Robins Gallery of Design from Nature at the University of Richmond
February 8 - December 9, 2018 This exhibit, comprised of a gift of textiles and ceramics made to the University in 1960 that was recently re-discovered, features Chinese textiles from the Qing Dynasty, as well as a large number of silk objects. Symbols and imagery of animals real and mythical form a theme throughout the gallery, with many pieces featuring such adornments. “The rich history and symbolism of Chinese textiles allows us to learn more about traditional Chinese rites, customs, superstitions, and even intricacies of Sinitic languages,” said student Marcin Jerzewski, co-curator of the now permanent Carver Collection.
