Barbara Hocker’s depiction of water in Shore to Shore takes the form of a stream emerging from the spine of a book; translucent undulations of paper suggest rushing water. In par hasard, Linda Colsh also depicts water. Printed with tracings of creek stones on stitched and stained coffee filters, her book evokes conversations with friends over coffee and the transitions that come when one moves away from the familiar. Barbara De Pirro’s Blossom is also tied to nature; circles of painted paper each revealing textured worlds that accumulate and open out into a floral form. Marcia Vogler’s quilted Time Traveler’s Coat, which takes the form of a kimono, speaks to time travel and cultural intersections. In the garment Love My Sugar Daddy, Virginia Green uses U.S. currency to comment on the female body, desire, and commodity. Weaving together strands of paper and raffia, Libby Raab comments on disintegration and decay in Good Times, while conversely, Karen Gubitz weaves paper into geometric forms to speak about accumulation and urban life in her piece, Urban. Finally, Jo Stealey’s Dusters evokes the labor and ritual embedded both in the process of making the paper and in its final sculptural form." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Learn more <a href="https://www.brattleboromuseum.org/2023/07/17/paper-made/" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Images compliments of Brattleboro Museum & Art Center. </span></div>Barbara De Pirrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05014860173883348060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541106317805398591.post-31592398387804068852023-09-20T09:23:00.004-07:002023-10-14T14:09:45.048-07:00 'Paper Made' at Brattleboro Museum<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfV2GMurz3W6W8wGdw2Vkw-E6EKytqnst_LD8fdV-T8JsG5GhEZy5ALTL9aZLM1uBct037OgCmWQU4UendBiEALaMRzeyoDz_cF-B-2s4DztTYE8EEQddQUWHZmF9rxHNrdo8ZgeYVk80pj_I1-aAwDiag6tSx2LCVVr8zAM2J4TFGC4oi3dsBPF8mbuH5/s1080/Screenshot_20231014_034503_Instagram.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1076" data-original-width="1080" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfV2GMurz3W6W8wGdw2Vkw-E6EKytqnst_LD8fdV-T8JsG5GhEZy5ALTL9aZLM1uBct037OgCmWQU4UendBiEALaMRzeyoDz_cF-B-2s4DztTYE8EEQddQUWHZmF9rxHNrdo8ZgeYVk80pj_I1-aAwDiag6tSx2LCVVr8zAM2J4TFGC4oi3dsBPF8mbuH5/s320/Screenshot_20231014_034503_Instagram.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi833oOGA01kkrId0-c9NBFFKp5jPzUsmaa-oQsSPbZGuauqnl27aYwb9tAVb5Ia7RKBUG-GhPiIPDABN-lN1yMakV-iZEOwCDKV90Bk8Leq6PmGYup4_OwyBhz84thIR3wqy6k8HgCsdoucEtzUXak_KXGlUmvgZbtLOyAhcyjOkZi5LzdhvzrhD5rhCnQ/s1080/Screenshot_20230916_195726_Chrome.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="906" data-original-width="1080" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi833oOGA01kkrId0-c9NBFFKp5jPzUsmaa-oQsSPbZGuauqnl27aYwb9tAVb5Ia7RKBUG-GhPiIPDABN-lN1yMakV-iZEOwCDKV90Bk8Leq6PmGYup4_OwyBhz84thIR3wqy6k8HgCsdoucEtzUXak_KXGlUmvgZbtLOyAhcyjOkZi5LzdhvzrhD5rhCnQ/s320/Screenshot_20230916_195726_Chrome.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Blossom</b> is included in the <b>Fiber Art Now</b> exhibition 'Paper Made' at <b>Brattleboro Museum and Art Center </b>in Vermont!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Exhibition dates October 14 through February 11, 2024. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks also for the feature Brattleboro Museum & Art Center!

Each of these strips were cut into segments then stitched and woven into individual kelp strands. “Kelp Forest” invites visitors to walk around its ghostly form, imagining the beauty and fragility of our oceans but envisioning a hopeful and healthier future.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Special thanks to Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Foss Waterway Seaport Museum, Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, Rosemary Ponnekanti, Schack Art Center and Tacoma Ocean Fest.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">View more videos <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkB9u8NAP_aN4l-C5vta0yg" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></span></div><div><br /></div></div><p><br /></p>Barbara De Pirrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05014860173883348060noreply@blogger.com
