Wall Piece 9" x 13" 1997
I just got an email from Elise Winters saying that my work, along with that of other polymer clay artists, has been officially accepted as part of the permanent collection of the Racine Art Museum in Racine WI. Please check out the 9/25 post on www.polymerartarchive.com
I wrote the following to Elise Winters who has spearheaded and nursed the project over the last few years and Rachel Carren who wrote the text for “Curatorial Impressions”.
I can’t tell you how much the profile of my work in Curatorial Impressions means to me. Because polymer clay is now a closed chapter in my life your presentation of and writing about my work is an especially valued gift. Your excellent, insightful descriptions of my work have given shape to my journey as an artist and challenges me to consider how my present work relates to those years spent working with polymer. I can’t thank you enough for a gift which helps me understand myself in my art. The service you have performed for the medium is obvious, but on a more subtle level you have given us artists the specific validation of a trained eye and pen which I know will go a long way in supporting my future work.
