Juror's Choice at Figuratively Fiber

It is a thrill to have been chosen for the "Juror's Choice" award at the exhibition "Figuratively Fiber" at the Joan Mondale Gallery, Textile Center, Minneapolis, MN.

Jurors Jodi and Richard Creager, of Creager Studio, selected the winning pieces from this exhibition, which focuses on art dolls. In addition to the great pleasure of being chosen to show in this prestigious forum, I am truly honored by the Jurors' comments on my piece, "Naturally Endowed:"

"We felt that this piece showed a great control of a wide variety of media. It's uniqueness of style and playful use of the human form spoke to us."

Thank you so much for your lovely complements! It is such a wonderful feeling to have my work appreciated by such incredible artists!

I love their promotional postcard, don't you?!!?!?

My piece in this show is "Naturally Endowed," the largest of my clayfoot girls. Her face and feet are hand-sculpted of stoneware clay and have a unique "separating glaze" on them that has a sharply "crackled" texture. Her body is completely woven, and is comprised of over 500 stakes. She required over 100 hours to weave; that is, after hand forming the face, feet and armature. Woven of wire, waxed linen, and fashion (acrylic) yarns. I particularly love her scaly skin, and her cellulite.
