About Jacqueline

I came to making washi through my fascination and appreciation of Asian
aesthetics, philosophies of wabi sabi,and yûgen, and my passion for
organic materials. Many years spent collecting plant material for dying
wool forloom weaving and basketry easily translated into using some of
those same dye plants to add color and textureto handmade paper.
The ancient art of papermaking, for me the process of weaving with
water, fiber and ascreen, has been the creative thread of my artistic
process for over two decades.

My personal relationship with the land evokes the depth of my artwork.
With locally found wood I buildarmature and combine kakishibu with
washi to create conceptual minimalism sculpture that are ethereal
in nature. In addition to the use of painted kakishibu on paper I use
encaustic medium to enhance the depth andsubtle qualities of paper
and mixed media elements. By allowing my work to be my voice I
intend to convey mymetaphysical and psychological connection with
the earth.

It is the tension between structure and chaos, discipline and passion and
the tranquil beauty found in naturethat has captivated my attention
and motivates me to further explore the uses of organic materials in
my artwork.
