i met judy mulford at a symposium.
even then, 30 years ago almost, she was inspirational,
her work truly awesome.
this morning i enjoyed an interlude of snooping around the internet.
one of the great pleasures of this is that i can see work that,
living so isolated,
i do not see.
and today i found this image of a work by judy.
i cannot attribute this photo, please forgive me,
but i honor the maker.
you have snow? I have gale force winds and now, torrential rain.
ReplyDeletej, just a bit left, but we got only 4 inches or so. are your hatches battened down?!
ReplyDeletethat basket is magnificent. i googled Judy Mulford and am amazed by her work. thank you for mentioning her name.
ReplyDeletethere was an old woman - it's so rich with womanhood. what is the material i wonder, looks like metal of some type. beautifully woven.
ReplyDeleteDo you still ahve the dogwood baskets, Velma? It'd be nice to see them...
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeletedeanna, her body of work is astonishing
ReplyDeletekaite, it's fiber (maybe linen) on gourd and the figures are polymer (i think)
faisel, i have one left that has really really changed...i'll see if it's around
lynn, yep, wow.

ReplyDeletemaybe a sculpture? her basketry is hard to define
ReplyDeletebut i bet the top figure section is a lid that is removable
