Woven Rhythm and Whimsy"
FiberArts:Contemporary Textile Art and Craft,
Jan/Feb 2008
"Like three-dimensional abstract paintings, Tina Puckett's woven
wall sculptures trace the rolling rhythms of fields and hills. Hand
dyed in the colors of autumn or spring, the natural materials she favors
— sea grass, reed, hemp, and grapevine — convey the look
of Impressionist paintings with layers of color."
- "Connecticut
Artist Tina Puckett . . .
will display her work at the Prosser Library in Bloomfield through January"
The Bloomfield Journal, January 11, 2008
"Brilliantly colored, (her) pieces wrap and snake around themselves
to form flowers, clouds and 3-dimensional tree bark."
Read visitors'
comments from the Prosser Library guestbook about Tina's
work.

from Winsted"

touches the vine, she can feel what it wants to be and that is how it
gets its shape."
- "Weaving new dimensions
in basketry"
New England Crafts Connoisseur, Spring 2006

and complementary blocks of color into a whole new dance of design."
