The Abstract Fabric at PC3

Photography by Paparazzi Paul.

The Gallery at The Pocono Cinema and Cultural Center (PC3) (formally known as The Pocono Community Theater) in East Stroudsburg, PA held an Artist's Reception on Saturday June 4th for their exhibition featuring the abstract geometric fabric collages of Will Rothfuss. Under the new directorship of Jan Selving, the walls of the theater's lobby and hallway leading to the 2nd and 3rd screening rooms were adorned with the beautifully intricate designs created by the artist. A modest gathering of art lovers attended the reception and were explicitly mesmerized by the patterns found within each frame they peered into.

Will Rothfuss currently resides and has his studio in Stroudsburg, PA. He has participated in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States in various galleries. These include the inaugural gallery show at Gallery 724 in Allentown, PA, The Antoine Dutot Museum and Gallery in Delaware Water Gap, PA, The Blair Academy in Blairstown, NJ, The Soho in the Burg Gallery in Stroudsburg, PA, and The Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, SC. Mr. Rothfuss has also received a number of awards honoring his talents. These include the first place prize in painting and the second place prize in mixed media from the Greenville Artists’ Guild, the first place prize in painting from the Springs Mills Regional Art Show, and the first pace prize in watercolor and second place prize in a small works show from The Pocono Arts Council.

The exhibition proved to be a welcomed one to those who ventured into the theater to enjoy the work. Not only did the fabric collages created by Mr. Rothfuss enhance each viewer abilities to explore the patterns embodied in their own lives, but the reemergence of art within the theater reacquainted art lovers throughout the area to another opportunity to experience the beauty and life affirming qualities of the arts. Taking some time to explore the work of Mr. Rothfuss is a wonderful way to experience the theater before and after viewing a film.
