Listening
Melissa Jay Craig & Pamela Paulsrud
Morgan Conservatory
Cleveland OH
June 4 – July 30
Melissa Jay Craig (a native of Cleveland) and Pamela Paulsrud are Chicago area artists whose works are drawn from nature; specifically from a shared sense that there is much more to be read within the environment than is currently understood. Craig, a book and installation artist who is nearly deaf, is intrigued by our often trivialized sensory and intuitive capabilities, and by the cyclical phrasing of natural organisms. In her sculptural works, she combines these concerns, often with double-edged humor, to suggest narratives authored by our beleaguered planet. Paulsrud, who began her career as a lettering artist, views handwriting as a language within a language. She has sought to capture the unseen resonance in nature through experiments with cymatics, allowing sound frequencies to directly reveal the poetic and philosophical principles of nature. Both artists are papermakers, who use specifically-processed fibers as their primary medium.
