Images:
A geometric paper orb sculpture by Rebecca Kreisler. These are made of paper printed with relief prints and digital imagery.
Some of this orbs were interspersed in handmade paper nets. This nets were made of recycled book pages and other papers that were twisted into ropes.
Channels was created by me (May Babcock), Sarah Hayman, Jessie Hornbrook and Megan Singleton.
This first photo is a detail of the print and fiber installation by Orange Barrel Industries, a.k.a. the dynamic duo Hannah March Sanders and Blake Sanders.
Blake made dinosaurs, which are screen-prints on painted wood.….and are in an epic tug-o-war with Hannah’s hyrda monster (painted/carved wood with fabric tubes).
The crab is hanging in there.
A richly colored and textured crochet rug, a Footprint by Hannah.
A large-format, 5 foot tall intaglio print with photo-lithography and cut-paper by Jessie Hornbrook. Great printmaking! Jessie also makes print-based video, so check out her website to see more.
Self Portraits by Katrina Andry. These are black and white hand printed stone lithographs. Katrina also makes amazing woodcuts printed with digital imagery.
Talk about haptic visuality! The surface texture on these 2ft x 8ft pulp paintings is mesmerizing. Megan Singleton works with handmade paper made from local invasive plants, such as water hyacinth and alligator weed.
These monumental pulp paintings are based on maps of waterways and bayous that Megan has visited, collecting invasive plants.
