Healing Waters

I have three works of art in the new exhibition Healing Waters: Restoring our Relationship with Utah Lake at the UVU Museum of Art. They are three knitted paper flowers that were once abundant in Utah Valley around Utah Lake but are no longer as prevalent: Ute ladies’ tresses, broadleaf cattail, and sego lilies. The sculptures highlight the fragility of plants in the Utah Lake ecosystem by rendering them in paper, a delicate but resilient medium. 

I grew up in and around Utah Lake and I am excited about how far it has come, it is more clean and healthy than it has been in a century. Come see the whole exhibit, it's up until September 27.
