JULIE WAGNER
Watercolors
From the Editor: This lovely watercolor series by Julie Wagner highlights how useful and luxurious it is for Julie to explore color and form without the third dimension. Artists use other mediums and tools to explore, loosen up, experiment and refresh their work. Julie has worked with paper, book forms,  circular orbs and floating boats in three dimensions. These recently created, loose, colorful and gestural, watercolor paintings, which remind me of Joan Mitchell and the late years of  Willem de Kooning, are full of life and freshness.  Julie now lives in an historic Albuquerque neighborhood near family. Julie is still working. Keep a look out for her in the future.
 I spent much of my childhood roaming the woods of the northeast, collecting leaves, flowers and seeds, and any other odd finds that caught my fancy. This practice continues today. I have containers with castoff snake skins, tiny skulls, jars of colored sand, and all sorts of seed pods, bugs, and odd sticks and stones. I love maps, diagrams, natural pigments and dyes.

I am also interested in borders, boundaries , edges, the spaces where lifeforms need to be more adaptable and open to change, as for instance, the littoral zone, the land between high and low tide.

 I am interested in flow…the flow of water, flow of air, blood through arteries and veins, time, ideas, movement through space. My pieces sometimes start as an idea in search of a form and sometimes as a structure that dictates a theme.

I see my work as a “map” of my thoughts —-a way of making visible something rather amorphous and
​fluid—-in the way that a topo map translates all the messy cacophonous complexity of the landscape into an elegant two-dimensional frozen image.

​**********
This class covers the basic techniques I have developed throughout my career and use to create my own coiled basketry vessels. The class is broken into 2 sessions, 3 hours each, which allows time for students to work and ask questions:
Session 1:
-Introduction to coiling/overview of the class;
the figure 8 stitch
-Unplying 4-ply yarns; starting the coil-Coiling row 1
-Color play—creating a random design; blending colors
Session 2:
Curving a bowl (Optional), Ending the coil,
​Finishing the rim
I've been working on this Coiling Chronicle since
January 5th, 2023. I was inspired by
Tommye McClure Scanlins's Tapestry Diaries
and Karen Turner's Stitch Diaries.
Each day I add a new section of color. Black indicates
the end of a month and White the days that I did not
add a section.
It currently measures 12 inches in diameter.
I am using 8/2 unmercerized cotton and
5/2 mercerized cotton weaving  yarns,
three strands together in the needle.

Flux alludes to natural and manmade networks from rivers, neural pathways and quantum fields to systems of transportation and communications, everything interconnected and in flux. My visual vocabulary emphasizes line: single lines emerging from material; low relief line patterns forming flux fields and networks of relationships. Recent cut paper works, drawing/sculpture hybrids, generally consist of 2 or more overlapping panels hung away from the wall to create shadows. The cut paper works have evolved into achromatic works, unintentionally referencing the unified field theory of everything. Light is an auxiliary medium, creating subtle and changing thresholds between the visible and invisible.

What is the nature of Nature? Why are things the way they are? Signe Stuart has spent her life exploring these questions through her art. "My making process relies on both intuition and intellect, juggles the uncertainties between concepts of order and chaos, and acknowledges paradox and relativity.”
Signe Stuart's professional history spans over fifty years. Her approach to art making relies on experimentation with painting materials and forms, often breaking from the standard rectangle and concepts of framing. She has lived and worked in diverse regions of the United States: East Coast, Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and Southwest. She is nowresiding in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Stuart’s work with sewn and acrylic stained canvasses began in the early 1960s. Her mesmerizing paintings offer subtle shifts of colors punctuated by incandescent lines or arcs which on close inspection reveal small ridges that have been meticulously stitched and painted.

Rio Grande weaving is a traditional New Mexican craft that I use to create contemporary art in the form of wall hangings or rugs. The walking looms and Navajo Churro wool are the traditional components that make this style of weaving unique to our area. My contemporary designs make my tapestries unique to Rio Grande weaving.
My handwoven clothing is free style, whimsical and fun to wear.  I use a small Japanese loom and every possible fiber to weave my fabrics.  Then I drape and sew the fabric into unique garments.
