Witzke, Amber, artist2007-01-032007-01-032013http://hdl.handle.net/10217/86744Colorado State University Art Department capstone project.Capstone contains the artist's statement, a list of works, and images of works.The artist's statement: Rather than depending on synthetic dyes, I carefully gather bark, flowers, and leaves in hopes that they will share their beautiful hues and shapes with my fabrics; these fabrics then become screens in the lantern structures I build. An emphasis on the soothing use of light and color kindles a delicate ambiance. As in nature, the end result is often a magical surprise. The prints can only be planned to a certain extent; at some point the flowers then take their course and leave their personal imprints. This harmless natural method blends with the art of repurposing furnishings. The natural processes of our world are both beautiful and inspiring.Student worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply. User is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
