------------------------------Transforming earth materials---------------------------- Natural and Environmental Sculpture
A Common Thread part 2 opens at the Textile Center in Minneapolis on Friday, February 9, 2007. Prairie Wing is my entry for the exhibit. The first part of the exhibit ended last weekend. The member entries were of extremely high quality. It was wonderful to see the diversity of work produced by members of the Textile Center. The work showed a wide range of textile techniques.

I revere the stuff of nature -- both the detritus and the wonders. While transforming earth, fibers and branches into mysterious vessels and sensual objects, I seek to relay messages heard only by the ear of the heart. Forces and forms of nature act as metaphors for the barest bones of the human condition. I borrow building techniques from past cultures and the natural building movement. These include: structures from Native American architecture and Japanese fence building, natural clay plasters, and straw-clay building.
