ARTIST STATEMENT
This exhibition explores the aesthetics of Under Her Wing was the Universe. Some pieces are studies of how to use wire cable to create site-specific public art “string art” installations. Some pieces explore the prairie landscape. The materials used to create the work are photographs, paper, and thread. All of the work is sewn by hand, a process that embraces a skill taught to me by my mother. All the work created for Elevate articulate the concepts behind the public art project.
