Tea in the Tempest Opening Reception
May 9, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Tea in the Tempest at Pink Dog Creative
Pink Dog Creative Gallery presents Tea in the Tempest, a collaborative exhibition by mixed media artist Heather Divoky and textile artist Emelie Weber Wade. Originally conceived as Tea Time for Two, a show celebrating creative friendship, the exhibition evolved in the wake of Hurricane Helene, reflecting themes of destruction, resilience, and renewal.
Divoky’s signature paper head crowns, intricate hand-drawn works, and a kinetic mobile installation explore the emotional landscape of loss and recovery. Wade’s woven inlay wall art and non-traditional quilts transform dreamlike imagery into textile narratives of home and healing. Three collaborative installations—a fiber blanket, a life-sized tree, and an interactive house—offer a powerful meditation on change and community resilience.
Join us for the opening reception on May 9 from 5-8 to experience how art transforms trauma into a shared journey of renewal.
