"The Yellow Goat and Ste. Ostrich"
Sketch by Lois Morrison
January 2001
|
Lois Morrison is an internationally renowned New Jersey book artist
whose works are in the collection of many public and private
institutions, including the Library of Congress, the Cleveland Art
Institute, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the J. Paul Getty Trust, and
the University of Auckland, among many others. The Dana Library
exhibition will highlight her distinctive fabric books, whose contents
vary from the fri-volous to the serious. The techniques are largely
applique, “reverse applique,” and the embroidering of words; the
textiles she uses are nearly all second-hand, coming from a multitude of
sources.
