CAW Makes New Shows Visible

On Thursday night artist Margaret Roleke smiled from her home in her garage studio, at an audience of 20 who had gathered virtually to hear her talk about her art practice and her show at Creative Arts Workshop — the first installment of CAW’s “Made Visible” series.

“I didn’t set out to be an activist artist,” she said. “I was creating work just to make people think.”

Roleke was talking about the large works she had installed in the enormous windows of Creative Arts Workshop’s gallery and on its walls — overtly political cyanotypes, interspersed with large bolts of mylar, so that viewers could see themselves viewing the pieces.
