Jacob's Ladder is finished. My brilliant framer (Colleen at Kathy's Gallery in Torrance) has built a wooden armature for it so that it now can hang on the wall without concern for becoming wonky. Of course I need to have a box built for it so it can be mailed off to Minneapolis in December for the exhibit.
I am very lucky that Naomi Guttman, a poet who is in the process of writing an epic poem which features, among much else, a textile artist, will be providing the sound track - YES, really, which will add an auditory experience for the viewer. She will be writing about Jacob's story. The show will be on view in January and February in Minnesota, details to follow as the time approaches.
What a great interpretation of Jacob's Ladder. Very literal and yet thoughtful. Enjoyed seeing this work.
