TOM BOWKER
Thomas-Carole Bowker Fine Art Studio

My two and three dimensional works
are done in a direct fashion and rarely make use of a maquette or preliminary drawings. I have always enjoyed working with a broad assortment of materials and textures, many of which are vintage fibers and found objects. My pieces are representational and embody the nature of the material fully. thomas-carolebowkerfineart

ILSE BOLLE
Fiber Constructions
Growing up in rural Germany, I developed a special bond with nature. I loved creating with seedpods, tree bark, twigs, vines and grasses and, to this day, still gather most of the materials that I incorporate in my work.

My technique - Thread Stories - is a process based on printing my photographs on fabric and creating a realistic representation of the subject in thread using free form embroidery, quilting, appliqué and trapunto.
The finished works range between one and three million stitches.
As street photographer, my travels to remote villages in third world countries, gathering images of individuals
involved in the routine of their daily lives, and documenting people on the streets of a busy cosmopolitan city
allow me to create a fabulous collection of images that are the basis of my fiber art.

BARBARA HOLLOWAY
Fine Handweaving
Galisteo
I Iove to weave. I am a handweaver of artwear, living and working in the high desert plateau country of Galisteo, New Mexico.
I weave primarily with rayon chenille and cotton yarns occasionally adding other luxurious fiber accents.
Additionally, I weave an animal fiber look alike fabric. On my standard rayon chenille and cotton warp,
I weave with a micro fiber yarn, called Cloud.
These are garments crafted to suit a wide range of environments. Choose a current garment design pattern.
Then choose your favorite handwoven fabric from the samples shown on my website.
I'm always thinking about the next great piece!

JACQUELINE MALLEGNI
PAPER RAIN STUDIO
|
The sculptures I create are small installations made with rattan, foraged natural materials, Japanese style handmade paper, cast flax and silk roving fiber, embellished with mono-prints infused with indigo and sumi ink. The intention is to evoke a sense of place and one’s relationship to that place. To pause and reflect on the beauty within. My work is ethereal in nature inspired by Asian aesthetics and philosophies of wabi-sabi (acceptance of transience and imperfection) and yugen (deep awareness). |
Living in a high desert, I collect rainwater for making traditional handmade paper with Kozo, Gampi
and Mitsumata fibers. The paper is included in mixed media sculpture with natural material, flax and silk roving, indigo, ink and kakishibu. |

Observations and questions about mysteries of the universe, life and consciousness are sources of visual ideas for my paintings
and constructions. Making these works is an ongoing process of negotiation and experimentation between ideas and materials.
I want my artworks to resonate with viewers and move them toward seeing this is that:
everything as a consequence of endless shape-shifting, combining and recombining.

Wool felt is the oldest known textile and was probably created in its earliest days using wool and water, then rubbing and rolling, and finally thrown onto a hard surface to help it shrink and tighten.
|
|
My handmade felt is created much the same way, although I use a few modern tools to speed up the felting process.
Sheeps wool, rainwater, and olive oil soap are my core ingredients, while often adding other fibers for design or strength. All of my work is made using ethically sourced wool, and eco-friendly dyes. karenwatersart.com |

I inhabit a true live/work environment....a detached weaving studio, a garage woodworking shop,
and a fabric room where I ultimately construct my figures, birds and botanicals.
From woven yardage and colorful felt, birds fly and figures contemplate a life,
all profusely embellished and finely crafted.
Welcome to my world!

My weavings are two strikingly different styles. I create New Mexico Rio Grande rugs and Japanese Saori style textiles and
both are a direct result of living in two very special places. First, I learned the art of weaving Rio Grande rugs at the
traditional Tierra Wools weaving center just down the road from our home, nestled in the beautiful Chama Valley.
I use local, hand-dyed Churro wool and original style walking looms to create my rugs and wall hangings. My designs are
often colorful and contemporary, but the Rio Grande style is carried through. The fabric I weave is Japanese Saori style,
merged with traditional sakiori weaving from Japan. While living in Japan I was drawn to the eye-catching textiles.
Their stunning use of color and subtle, yet complex designs are reflected in my woven fabric. I design and make simple,
unique garments that are often based on the principles of origami.
All a result of living in this mysterious land.
