<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">"Kumar Joe, a Singing Crow" is the tale of a little crow who was born with a heart for music, but not a voice for it. After the esteemed maestro of the local bird's choir bans him from singing, Kumar must find the courage to overcome the social pressure and his embarrassment to reclaim the joy of music...and save the choir along the way. Kumar Joe is a tile for all the kids (and adults out there), who've ever given up on something merely because they didn't excel at it. Kumar is a reminder that joy, in itself, is reason enough. Illustrated in B&W with a full color cover (by Chris Hopkins) and broken into small chapters, Kumar Joe was written for parents to read to their children, however, parents might just find themselves reading ahead on their own.</span><br />

Shoes speak to style, fashion and individuality, yet they also tell stories, expressing more than their role as footwear. Shoes reflect the time and place of their creation, providing unique insights into human history and identity. The 100 contemporary artists whose shoe-inspired artworks are presented in <em>The Perfect Fit</em> are motivated by these themes, creating objects of wit, whimsy and visual pizzazz</span></p><p style="font-size: 12px; text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span"> Friends also in exhibit: Dona Anderson, Zia Gipson, Lissa Hunter, C.A Michel, Norma Minkowitz, Carol Milne Inge Roberts and Polly Adams Sutton</span></p><p align="right" class="style34" style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "></p><div style="font-size: 12px; text-align: center; "><em><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.fullercraft.org/_assets/PR%20Perfect%20Fit%20extended%20FINAL.pdf">The Perfect Fit: Shoes Tell Stories</a> was organized by </span></em></div><em style="font-size: 12px; "><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><em><span class="Apple-style-span">the <a href="http://www.fullercraft.org/home.html">Fuller Art Museum</a>, Brockton, Massachusetts.</span></em></span></div></em><p style="font-size: 12px; "></p><p align="right" class="style34" style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "></p><div style="font-size: 12px; text-align: center; "><b><i><br /></i></b></div><p style="font-size: 12px; "></p></td></tr></tbody></table></span>Jan Hopkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02165351985098935515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352724147264432319.post-1442041498862405142011-04-06T11:35:00.000-07:002011-04-06T12:23:05.072-07:00Jan Hopkins Lecture<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" ><a href="http://www.nwbasketweavers.org/">Northwest Basket Weavers</a></span></b></div><div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" ><a href="http://www.nwbasketweavers.org/">Vi Phillips Guild</a></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Wednesday </span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >April 13, 2011, 7:30PM</span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Shoreline Unitarian Church </span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >14724 1st Avenue NE </span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Shoreline, WA 98155-6806 </span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >In the Chrysalis Bldg</span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><a href="http://www.nwbasketweavers.org/OurNewMeetingLocation.pdf">driving directions</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(0, 51, 0); font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div></b></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b>Exploring Alternative Natural Materials</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIU5sXJxmGzEpmFUMdRd7yvOV8Lvlz2-L-tOSB6Fpy1O5KdTRO7-d-hK32zJ0dlZOZJvvuspDRytK0OQxsS3rtytE78cow_xywn7GMRkmdkZeoF8A7nSkHgq3EDmA9vxEpe_6M8VWuuFpa/s320/lotus.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592549188364709122" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >This presentation by Jan Hopkins is based on over 20 years of exploring and developing ways to process and make baskets and sculptural art from materials that are not thought of as either usable or as basketry materials. Jan found her niche working with alternative natural materials such as citrus peels, melon peels and sturgeon skin. Finding it was increasingly difficult to collect traditional materials, she started looking materials that could be collected in abundance. Starting with orange peels, she worked diligently for many years to make the material stable for the long term and continued the quest using alternative materials, eventually finding ways to work with grapefruit and melon peels. For over 20 years Jan has experimented and incorporated other materials like lunaria (silver dollar seed pod centers), sturgeon skin, lotus pod tops, various leaves, a variety of seeds and petals. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Jan states, “Each material has its own distinct qualities and I have developed many variations of processing and combining materials. Some materials work better together than others.

And finally, there are eyes on the front of each shoe when placed together they are eyes that continue to look for love.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-size: small; "><o:p></o:p></span></span></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>"Light in Darkness"</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjt9Sb6PaB63_5XEDv00OIhMeoo8KN7mMj-loI5cEkCkiyDvln4e8UlBBltKzIzb4kN-T4IZd6cRwP-0S-nIRyVvW1uiddUdalYyKTODKIknkrSN9p7tcKdm8MAHcQT-D-CmjQwmQR7tr/s400/light_in_darkness_front.w.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591912388967462706" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhODZKGS5uh8pmpWGE14gY4_lRrSQs2WCBW5ZBvsF9C9jHL81wRKEd4wW-4uXO2ZQPBmgOybuNGoCvZjBMtzPt_7Idxk7H3qqKC5bEfCTpCbCbecegPwwH0oNsQ65eEFyBaNkHffKU1VBO/s400/light_in_darkness_back.w.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591912391747227922" /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ZdxaLUFg_uc1_ybasF5pUvLHxxicf88pTrWJy_Mitw-FcZg9b4NVjpuK8OfaMnB7LvTf3aeN_6n_K_5vm8Zgk00sB2kWj_ZBvwVCLUhh6veYXbgyDLmtX-Gb255CucUWvX7uXkRxHHFm/s400/light_in_darkness_lace_detailw.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591912395784050610" /><div style="text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" > 30"x18"x12", 2010, grapefruit peel, yellow cedar bark, ostrich shell beads and waxed linen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="apple-style-span">As a child,</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> I remember watching the dramatized story of Helen Keller “The Miracle Worker”.

She was our little bright star. She went through the most horrific teen years from the ages of 14 to 22. There was years of tremendous pain and sadness. There was one thing that I held onto that one of the many councelors told me and that was "her base for her personality is formed at the age of 4" and told me "to hold onto that little girl." When she was 9, we printed cards of her artwork. I kept one of her cards in my desk to remind me that little girl was the same little girl that was in so much turmoil. I kept the faith and by the time she was 22, she had her own little girl and turned her life around. Today, I have my daughter back, a happy successful woman with a lot of empathy and knowledge. My life today is so good</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3q6XwDeBHd5CC-biHkxD4awvg1Swf8Ca5n_og8CSoYNlekedrfh_hHXPT22Ypj5hiqAtFOKCClR4pCSA3KxS85QfJGO_rPwglop__bKyD9WRCA6nB8Q0MoJ3sBu-MZI6YIzlMht_NWXEk/s1600/age_of_innocence_front_w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3q6XwDeBHd5CC-biHkxD4awvg1Swf8Ca5n_og8CSoYNlekedrfh_hHXPT22Ypj5hiqAtFOKCClR4pCSA3KxS85QfJGO_rPwglop__bKyD9WRCA6nB8Q0MoJ3sBu-MZI6YIzlMht_NWXEk/s400/age_of_innocence_front_w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554126371096192306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlc0lcbh57A4CvFSJw5nFqDlcoVy8K2MmhLOiAitiFRPQmHz5hc_ltSBi-iWHz6HB25iEhSJ_rH2OQqvJnJwSeSJhfOFx08v-bsseEJClAahzhJabKA9fHUjQhcwuop9BEPvFWMJJEvGjw/s1600/age_of_innocence_back_w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlc0lcbh57A4CvFSJw5nFqDlcoVy8K2MmhLOiAitiFRPQmHz5hc_ltSBi-iWHz6HB25iEhSJ_rH2OQqvJnJwSeSJhfOFx08v-bsseEJClAahzhJabKA9fHUjQhcwuop9BEPvFWMJJEvGjw/s400/age_of_innocence_back_w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554126365616372418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXr087QzYswDkHVfWbrH9f4_RTuf1p1DTZEofwIwUaYitLijVnk-KPrztadQRVFVK2Y2a2ofN1Qz9ZqEs4kw0yuKhanE25qYOkqRB8e31x-OXxBQYP3Yx8i57MY8oQDAmzjNMctnNR9zKn/s1600/age_of_innocence_detail_w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXr087QzYswDkHVfWbrH9f4_RTuf1p1DTZEofwIwUaYitLijVnk-KPrztadQRVFVK2Y2a2ofN1Qz9ZqEs4kw0yuKhanE25qYOkqRB8e31x-OXxBQYP3Yx8i57MY8oQDAmzjNMctnNR9zKn/s400/age_of_innocence_detail_w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554126363499602818" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="style71"><span class="style92">"AGE OF INNOCENCE", </span></span>21" x 13" x 8", </span><span class="style22"><span class="Apple-style-span">Lunaria. skeleton leaves, preserved leaves, Cardioiocinum giganteum seeds, yellow cedar bark, waxed linen paper </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><span class="style22"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><span class="style22"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; ">The visual mood of this piece says it all, it is light-hearted and happy.

The artistic theme of an ongoing dialectical relationship between man and nature in the Northwest in the past has ranged from the early, mystic painters of the 1940s-1950s to the land-based art of the late 1960s-1970s, climaxing in the 1979 national symposium "Earthworks. Land Reclamation as Sculpture" (King County Arts Commission). While attention has been paid to land-based art and public art involving community based-ecological projects, it is time for critical analysis of artists who are newly engaged in a dialogue on the environment in more traditional places as galleries and museums.This exhibition focuses on twenty-six artists who are concerned with the issues and contemporary conditions of the environment in the Northwest. These artists draw on both the environmental politics long associated with the Northwest and the artistic history of these issues in the regional and national scene. In their approaches some of these contemporary artists face the critical issues head on: growth management as seen in the urban/rural conflict; the connection of transportation and urban sprawl; contested sources of energy; mass production and consumption; toxic management of land, watersheds and waters; and dramatic climate change. Others accent environmental values such as preservation of wilderness and wetlands, sustainability, and biodiversity as well as work out the strategy of artist and nature as co-agents. Finally, some artists enhance current conditions and challenges through the use of an apocalyptic rendering. In this exhibition the viewer will not only have a chance to see the overlapping causes and effects of the issues in artworks but also to hear the resounding voices of our artistic messengers.</span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Organized by Sarah Clark-Langager, Director, Western Gallery</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">John Olbrantz, Director, Halle Ford Museum, Willamette University</span><br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">the exhibition will have a catalogue with essays by the curator, Sarah Clark-Langager, and award winning environmental journalist, William Dietrich.
