STEWART LIBRARY EVENTS  Spring 2008

 


Two new exhibits are currently hanging in Stewart Library. Judy Elsley: Complex Cloth is features the work of WSU faculty member and fabric artist, Judy Elsley. She buys bolts of white “prepared for dyeing” (PFD) cotton, to do her own dyeing. She views cloth as an end in and of itself instead of a means to some other purpose. Instead of buying fabric to make into something else, she is treating the cloth as a canvas and creating works of art, including the beautiful hangings on display. See if you can spot the multi-panel work that represents dawn, mid-day, and evening. The display is bright, colorful and attractive! Don't miss it!
Located on the Upper Level, in front of Honors.

Also on display is a moving tribute to individuals who have died and provided organs so others might live. The Organ, Eye and Tissue Donor Quilt panel represents a portion of the quilt, with 49 donor squares honoring those who have saved and improved lives through the selfless act of donation. It is hanging in the  

Lower Level Atrium through May.
