Man at Peace (1993)H 30" W 26" D 10" After the Fisherman (below) I wanted to create another scene, but with more weaving in it. And I wanted it to be two-sided. I thought that man would be at peace fishing, and that a woman gathering what she happened upon would also find peace in doing that. I wove the boat, the fisherman, and his baskets, and used a mushroom for the beach. I wove the woman, her umbrella, and a basket for her gatherings. Pine was used for the grasses, and different size mushrooms for the coastlne. Seedlings and tiny shells added finishing touches. View a construction detail. View another construction detail.

The Fisherman (1992)H 40" W 40" D 10" This is the beginning of the series of landscapes. Walking through the woods one day I came upon a piece of bark that looked like a face. In an instant I looked around at the trees' bark and wanted to create a scene around that face with the different barks. I created a large grapevine wreath for the frame and wove a flat surface inside the wreath. I attached birchbark to the surface and painted it blue to create sky and water. I used hickory bark to create clouds, oakbark and maple to create mountains. The bridge I wove from reeds and cane. The face became a fisherman, given woven baskets for his catch. I surrounded the fisherman with different grasses and seedlings.
