TAPS Contained at Brick House Gallery features the works of local and regional tapestry artists.

There is nothing flashy or startling in the Brick House show, but it is a nice showcase of members of Tapestry Artists of Puget Sound featuring such local and area artists as Mary Lane, Julie Rapinoe, Joyce Hayes, Inge Norgaard, Marge MacDonald, Ellen Ramsey, Cecilia Blomberg and others.

I was particularly taken with two pieces by Blomberg. "Birch Rolls" consists of nine almost floor-to-ceiling strips of white fabric with black bands sewn into them to mimic the look of a stand of birch trees. They are hung in front of a window and near a ceiling fan, and they gently move in the wind from the fan.
