I’m so pleased to be included in this show - my first out-of-state! I will have two pieces from my storied collection included.

The exhibition celebrates work in which material is integral to meaning. Paper and fiber may serve as surface, structure, fragment, or building block: folded, woven, stitched, layered, cut, joined, accumulated, or assembled into something new. From intimate two-dimensional works to dimensional and sculptural forms, “Material Conversations” considers what emerges when materials interact, transform, and speak through one another.

Juror: Rhiannon Alpers is a papermaker, letterpress printer, and book artist based in Portland, Oregon.
