From that to This: CA Pool

Media: Abaca, cheesecloth, cut leaves, pigments, walnut dye

Artist Statement:
Trying to salvage an existing piece I cut and overdyed with black walnut, this started to look as dark and charred as the online images of the CA fires. An ironic snippet of a cooling blue pool peeks through the remains.

Biography

I learned papermaking from Joan Sterrenburg at Indiana University and taught it for 33 years as head of the fiber arts program at Central Michigan University.

I’ve exhibited in solo and group exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally, receiving an honorable mention in the 4th Cheongju International Craft Biennale in Korea. My work is included in the Lark Books 500 series -- 500 Paper Objects: New Dimensions in Paper Art, and is represented in the collections of the R.C. Williams Papermaking Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Budapest Museum of Fine Art in Hungary.
