Diane Williams' exhibit, 'The Artistic Journey of a Material Girl'
Exhibit Dates: January 20, 2012 - May 26, 2012
The Museum of the Mississipi Delta invites you to visit an exhibit by Diane Williams, 'The Artistic Journey of a Material Girl'.
Diane Williams has been called a storyweaver, a keeper of treasured tales, and a collector of phrases. Williams weaves her tales from books, history, myths, legends, and folktales, and many of her stories are original. She has traveled across America telling stories in her unique and creative way.
Williams stated: "I now see the world as a landscape that can be recreated in dimensional and territorial layers of fabrics. Fabrics that have been manipulated are my favorite – whether they are hand dyed, painted, or treated with coloring from other creative avenues. The world seems to be at my fingertips and yet I have no creative authorization regarding the finished product. My work directs me; I do not direct the work’s progress. Every intimate progression of stone, fabric, straw, silk yarn and bead, guides me by telling me what to do next. One thing complements the other. I want to call it
folk art, only because the work materials come from the folks that I know. Mine is a sharing community." |
