Thesis Exhibition on Display at Hillestad Gallery
Textiles, clothing and design graduate student Katie Taylor Frisch's Option II thesis exhibition, "I've been here before, I remember that tree," is on display through Nov. 19 in the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery.
Using personal journal entries as the starting point for each piece, Frisch's forest installation is an accumulation of experience and emotion in fiber form. Serving as a library of the journals she has kept throughout 2010, this forest is a display of the documentation she has maintained of a journey, thoughts in both patterned and written form. With the tree as a monument to memory and metaphor of identity, these works in handmade paper and nuno felted silk explore journaling as an act of reflection and creation. more...
