A Score for Fiber/Textile Artists!

I received an Honorable Mention at the reception on Tuesday night!

I view this as a very big deal since Fiber/Textile artists usually get shunted to the bottom of the pile, especially when juried with Fine Art and Photography. So score another one for Fiber/Textile artists everywhere!

"Tin Hinan"

I have always been enamored of costume and culture and I am hoping that 2010 is my year for doing alot more of these 'mixed' pieces. This is my niche, this is what makes my heart soar. Don't get me wrong... I love creating the 'more wearable' of my pieces, but it is these wild and exciting pieces that bring me to a completely different plane.

"Tin Hinan" - Her name is from the Tuareg and she is a famous ancestress of the Taureg people. The queen mother; a mythical ancestor and founder of the Tuareg language and culture. The Tuareg consider women to be the repository of culture, and a guarantor of the unity and honor of the community.


"Tin Hinan" will be on exhibit at the Studios on the Park, PRAA 1/21/10-2/21/10
